- Excellent scoring drive by the Lions. Amazingly, just their second TD in the first half of a game this season, the first since the opener. They mixed run and pass well, and took advantage of the middle of the field being so wide open.
- The penalty on the punt to extend Seattle's scoring drive was disappointing. The Lions continue to shoot themselves in the foot with too many foolish mistakes, especially on special teams.
- The Lions defensive line is playing very well. That's the best sign of an otherwise disappointing season so far. Well, until Marshawn Lynch broke through on a long run to start the second quarter. Where was the help support from the secondary?
