The Detroit Lions delivered a butt-whipping out of their bye week. Now Jahlani Tavai Detroit Lions Jersey , they’ll have to avoid the same fate. This week, the Seattle Seahawks are coming in fresh and healthy off their bye week, and—much like the Lions—they are trending in the right direction. Having won three of their last four games, the Seahawks are not dead, as many assumed they would be. How have they managed to keep the team competitive despite losing so many key players? Let’s check the weekly scouting report: Seattle SeahawksLast season9-7 record (2nd in NFC West)11th in points scored, 13th in points allowedOverall DVOA: 14th (14th on offense, 13th on defense)2018 offseasonKey free agent additions: TE Ed Dickson, LB Barkevious Mingo, G D.J.

It was only a matter of time before their excellent drafting five years ago caught up with them. They couldn’t realistically sign everyone to an extension, so they seemingly got rid of everyone. Just look at that “key losses” section. There’s a lot of Pro Bowls, All Pro nods and Super Bowls among that group.The most publicized losses came in the secondary, where the Legion of Boom was declared dead. Gone is Richard Sherman. Kam Chancellor is dealing with a potential career-ending injury. The one guy that’s a holdover from the championship secondary, Earl Thomas, suffered a season-ending injury and remains pissed at the team. This was as close to a complete overhaul as you can get for one team, but they were aggressive in recouping talent in free agency. 2018 season thus far (3-3)Week 1: Loss to Broncos, 24-27Week 2: Loss to Bears, 17-24Week 3: Win over Cowboys, 24-13Week 4: Win over Cardinals, 20-17Week 5: Loss to Rams, 31-33Week 6: Win over Raiders, 27-3Stats:17th in points scored, 5th in points allowed10th in DVOA (20th on offense, 4th on defense, 19th on special teams)Despite all of the key losses on defense, the Seahawks are managing to keep it together on that side of the ball. In just about every statistical category, the Seahawks rank in the top 10. Here’s a sampling:4th in yards per passing attempt allowed (6.8)3rd in passer rating allowed (79.9)4th in points allowed per drive (1.71)t-6th in interceptions (9)However, you may have noticed I left out one key piece of their defense: their ability to stop the run. That’s because they’ve been uncharacteristically bad at doing so, allowing 4.7 yards per carry (t-25th). That being said, they still have quite a few playmakers on that defense to fear. The defensive line is headed by youngsters Frank Clark and Jarran Reed, while veteran Bobby Wagner remains a force in the second level. However Youth Jahlani Tavai Jersey , most impressive is the Seahawks’ ability to maintain quality play in the secondary. Safeties Tedric Thompson and Bradley McDougald are playing like top-10 defensive backs right now.Offensively, Seattle is still working out some kinks. It’s clear they want their identity to surround the running game again, as they run the ball more than anyone else in the league. Their success has been moderate, averaging 4.3 yards per carry with their trio of running backs: Chris Carson, Mike Davis and rookie Rashaad Penny. Carson brings the boom, Davis brings the balance, and Penny brings the quickness. Russell Wilson remains a big threat, despite the fact that he hasn’t run the ball much at all this year (62 rushing yards). The biggest story here, though, may be that the Seahawks found themselves an offensive line that is much better than it looks on paper. They haven’t been phenomenal—they’ve allowed 19 sacks, second most among teams that have only played six games—but they’ve held together more than expected. Put it all together, and you have a very good defense and an average offense. That’s a lot more than most were expecting after a tumultuous offseason. Vegas line for Sunday: Lions by 3 ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Golden Tate caught the pass from Matthew Stafford in stride along the sideline, then slowed briefly to hold the ball out and show it to the defender before going into the end zone to put the Detroit Lions ahead with just over 2 minutes left in the game.There was also a 45-yard catch-and-run for a touchdown in the first quarter, a play on which Tate high-stepped his way down the other sideline before making a diving defender miss and then turning around to back into the end zone.Tate caught all eight passes thrown his way for 132 yards, but the Lions lost 26-24 on Sunday when the Dallas Cowboys got the ball last and kicked a field goal as time expired.“For me personally, this sucks because celebrating stats by yourself is just no fun, and to me means nothing,” Tate said. “Celebrating a big win and having bonus of stats, that’s what you want to do.”A week after the Lions (1-3) beat New England and new coach Matt Patricia’s old boss, they couldn’t hold on at the end in Dallas.As for his showboating entries into the end zone, including the late 38-yard score, Tate said he let his emotions get away from him and called it selfish play on his part.After Tate’s first touchdown, Patricia said something to him on the sideline.The coach said after the game that he didn’t remember what he said White Jahlani Tavai Jersey , then offered, “Probably good job on the touchdown.”When asked more specifically, the coach indicated that was an in-house issue that would stay that way.“Obviously a lot of things could happen, a lot of bad things can happen, so just celebrate once you’re in the end zone,” Tate said. “At the end of the day, I am having fun, but I’ve got to put the team first.”Tate, a ninth-year receiver, said the Lions want to be a disciplined group and that he has to lead by example.“I can’t show that to the younger guys so they think it’s OK,” he said. “I’ve got to fix it.”Detroit led 24-23 after Tate’s second touchdown with 2:17 remaining, but the Cowboys then got in position for Brett Maher’s 38-yard field goal on the final play of the drive.On the first play after the 2-minute warning, rookie defensive end Da’Shawn Hand got to Dak Prescott, knocking the ball out. But the Cowboys quarterback was able to scoop up the fumble and roll out to throw the ball away. That came right before Prescott’s 34-yard pass to running back Ezekiel Elliott deep into Detroit territory.“You go through a lot of emotions, it’s up and down, but you’ve got to stay focused, you’ve got to stay in the moment, you’ve got to go out and execute, and that’s the way the game is,” Patricia said. “There’s such a fine line in this league between winning and losing.”
