The Seattle Seahawks offense had to do a whole lot just to keep the team competitive against a Detroit Lions juggernaut that tore apart an undermanned Seahawks defense. They did as much as they could, but it still wasn’t enough in a 42-29 loss.
If I were to tell you that in a non-overtime game, the Seahawks would rack up 516 yards of offense and 38 (!!) first downs, you’d probably assume this was a Seattle win. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. The Seahawks now hold the modern NFL record for most first downs in a loss.
