Highlights of the Week

The Lions faced fourth and two at the Seattle 38-yard line in the first half but failed to convert, a pass from Matthew Stafford to backup tight end Matthew Mulligan losing two yards.

Facemask or no facemask, Paul Richardson’s touchdown which put Seattle ahead in the second quarter is still impressive.

Ultimately, Thomas Rawls carried the day. His four-yard touchdown basically put the game away for the Seahawks and added to his career game.
