Seattle Overload, Episode 26: Seahawks Defense Generates Trio of Turnovers, But Surrenders 29 Points to Lions

Fortunately overshadowed by a 51-point effort on the offensive side of the ball, the Seahawks' defense struggled at times to limit backup quarterback Tim Boyle and the lowly Lions. Matty F. Brown and Griffin Sturgeon break it all down in the latest episode of "Seattle Overload."

Having struggled to generate turnovers for most of the 2021 season, the Seahawks turned in their best performance of the year on that front against the Lions. But aside from picking off backup quarterback Tim Boyle three times, Ken Norton Jr.'s unit was gashed for 29 points on a cold, wet Sunday night at Lumen Field. Thankfully, a 51-point explosion by Seattle's offense erased the negatives of its defensive showing, including the early-game loss of linebacker Bobby Wagner (knee).
