A week that started off full of hope and optimism for the Seattle Seahawks quickly took an ugly turn, as the Hawks dropped the season opener to the division rival Los Angeles Rams 30-13 while being utterly dominated in the second half. Week 2 sees the team head to the Motor City, where they will take on the Detroit Lions, who will be well rested coming off a season opening victory over the defending Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs in the Thursday Night Football season opener.
It is already known that Seattle will be without right tackle Abe Lucas, who was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, and most view it as unlikely that left tackle Charles Cross plays following Pete Carroll’s comments that it would be a ‘challenge’ for Cross to be ready to go against the Lions.
