Seattle Seahawks Dud and Stud of Game 4 – Detroit
In a game where the opposing offense scored easily and often, the defense had their share of duds. Despite a forced fumble and a pick-six, the Seattle Seahawks defense looked pretty pathetic.
They surrendered 45 points to a fairly weak Detroit Lions team that was missing its starting running back, two starting receivers, and a starting guard.
Second Dishonorable Mention
The Defensive line couldn’t get consistent pressure on Goff, picking up only 1 sack and 3 QB hits. That showed by what he accomplished through the air. Goff finished 26 of 39 for 387 yards with 4 touchdowns, 1 interception, and a 121.5 QB rating.
At times Jamaal Williams looked like he was running through paper. The backup RB gained 108 yards and scored 2 TDs.
First Dishonorable Mention
Seattle’s pass coverage was brutal. This unit has to take its share of the blame for such a poor defensive showing. Lions’ receivers were open all over the field.
Maybe if Amon-Ra St. Brown and DJ Chark played, their poor performance would be somewhat understandable. Instead, the cornerbacks and safeties should buy Smith dinner for a month after he bailed them out.

Dud of the Week
The biggest dud of the week goes to Tyler Lockett as a punt returner. Once again, he fumbled a punt, and that fumble led to points almost instantly for the Lions.
For most of his career, Lockett has been a surehanded punt returner. But he struggled again with fielding punts.
Lockett had one other return opportunity, which was only returned for 7 yards. He doesn’t look like the same guy that once struck fear into opposing special team’s coverage units.
