The Lions left their first home crowd of the 2023 season disappointed with a 34–31 overtime loss to the Seahawks. The game-winning play was a touchdown pass from Seattle's Geno Smith to Tyler Lockett, with the receiver stretching the ball just around the pylon for the score.
But Lions fans were outraged over a penalty not being called on the play. It appeared that Seahawks right tackle Jake Curhan committed holding on Detroit's Aidan Hutchinson, preventing the defensive end from sacking Smith before the QB threw the TD pass.
On replay, Curhan looked like he wrapped his right arm around Hutchinson's neck and shoulder. Additionally, the offensive lineman appeared to grab his opponent's jersey.
