For the third straight year, the Seattle Seahawks will be traveling to the Motor City to play the Detroit Lions. Currently, the Seahawks have won the two previous meetings, both of which were offensive shootout thrillers.
In 2022, the Seahawks outlasted the Lions and prevailed with a 48-45 victory. Interestingly enough, this was a rare Scorigami – a final score that had never happened before in NFL history. The Seahawks from 2010-2018 were masters of this unique art form.
Last year, Seattle claimed its second win over Detroit by upsetting them 37-31 in overtime. The Seahawks were heavy underdogs having been thrashed by the Los Angeles Rams the week before and were without their starting tackles.
But perhaps the most compelling aspects of these games is the fact the Seahawks managed to score off a pick-six in both meetings. Riq Woolen blasted onto the scene as a rookie by snagging Lions quarterback Jared Goff’s first pass of the second half 40 yards for a score.
Last year, Tre Brown did the exact same thing. Intercepting Goff and returning for a 40-yard touchdown.
Oddly enough, both touchdowns gave the Seahawks 31 points. Woolen made it a 31-15 game, and Brown turned it into a 31-21 lead for Seattle.
Both highlights can be viewed in the tweet below.
