Seahawks vs. Lions 2012: Stafford finds a way in the fourth quarter

Then the heart and soul of the Seahawks, their defense, gave up 415 total yards to the Lions including 331 yards passing against their vaunted secondary. With the game on the line, the defense just needed a stop - it couldn’t get one.

A game where a team’s two strengths turned out to be weaknesses turns into a loss for the Seahawks.

Tate also caught a crucial 4th-and-2 to set up the team’s game-leading TD later. They would later blow the lead and lose 28-24.

Fantasy Impact: It was a nice bounce-back after being blanked on the stat sheet last year, but Tate is still way too inconsistent to be counted on as a fantasy option.

The Seahawks couldn’t hold the lead, however, falling 28-24 to Detroit.

Fantasy Impact: Finally healthy, Rice is the team’s top option in their offense. Problem is, their offense is still limited with Wilson’s growing pains, so Rice is going to be a very boom-or-bust type of fantasy option.

The Seahawks defense couldn’t hold the lead, however, as the Lions came back to win 28-24.

Fantasy Impact: Aside from the interception, this was arguably Wilson’s most efficient game, but that still isn’t translating into reliable fantasy production. He’s still a third-round rookie playing like a third-round rookie.

Fantasy Impact: The Seahawks have one of the best secondaries in the league, but Stafford did a good job picking them apart over the middle and getting big third downs.

Maybe the problem was that he was trying to use two hands.

My favorite of which is the man in the first row to Young’s right, who goes for a high five and then quickly realizes he’s going to be rebuked and turns it into a “We’re No. 1!”

Detroit just parted the sea as Lynch gave the Seahawks their longest play of the season. It was the longest run for Seattle since an 88-yard Shaun Alexander run in 2005.

Seattle enters the game 4-3 and tied for second in the NFC West while Detroit sits at 2-4 and in last place in the NFC North.
