The 2022 NFL season is finally here and the Week 4 schedule is chock full of exciting showdowns. One of the most interesting matchups of the week is a meeting between the Seattle Seahawks and Detroit Lions.
Losers of back-to-back games, the Seahawks hope to turn things a round after a 27-23 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The Lions are also searching for a turnaround after a blown lead dealt saw them lose, 28-24, to the rival Minnesota Vikings.
Can the Falcons avoid their third straight loss of the season? Or will the Lions prove that they're capable of rebounding in front of a raucous Ford Field crowd?
