Seahawks storylines
The Seahawks are just one of five remaining undefeated teams. They have particularly thrived in the passing game, both offensively and on defense. Geno Smith's unit has already put up 787 yards through the air, which ranks sixth in the league. With an incredible trio of DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, and Jaxson Smith-Njigba, Seattle has one of the best receiving corps in the NFL .
The team has also stopped teams from throwing the ball. They've only allowed 473 yards through the air, which is the third-fewest in the league. Riq Woolen and Devon Witherspoon form an incredible cornerback duo. They are ball-hawking defensive backs that make opposing quarterbacks think twice about throwing in their respective directions.
It is the running game that needs improvement in Seattle, and luckily, help is on the way. Kenneth Walker has missed the last two games with an oblique injury, but he is set to return for this game. The running back will help bring more balance to the Seahawks offense.
Regardless of whether they are throwing the ball or running it, Seattle will need to slow down Aidan Hutchinson. The defensive end has been on a tear so far, as he already has 6.5 sacks and 16 combined tackles. The Seahawks offensive line hasn't been great this year, especially at the right tackle position, so Hutchinson could be in line for another big game.
Lions storylines
Aidan Hutchinson hasn't been the only big-time producer for the Lions so far. Jared Goff has been a revelation ever since Detroit traded for him, and that has been on display this year. Goff's favorite target, Amon-Ra St. Brown, has continued to put up big numbers ever since a disappointing Week 1 performance.
The Lions' offense is explosive and exciting. That was evident during a hook and ladder play last week that resulted in a Jahmyr Gibbs touchdown which went viral on social media. The play also ended up with Sam LaPorta being injured , but the star tight end is ready to play this week.
While the Seahawks have thrived in the passing game on both sides of the ball so far, the Lions have actually been the opposite. They rank fourth in rushing yards (489) and fourth in rushing yards against (230). Gibbs and David Montgomery form a lethal one-two punch, and the Lions have looked vastly improved on the defensive end of the football.
The Seahawks and Lions have won their games in very different ways so far this year, but they have won them. Someone has to lose this battle between two of the best teams in the league. So, who do you think will walk away victorious?
