Analysis

The Seahawks' offense was firing on all cylinders on Sunday, as Wilson spread the ball around to his receivers and Penny provided a consistent running attack. The Lions' defense was able to generate some pressure on Wilson, but they were unable to force any turnovers. The Lions' offense also struggled to find consistency, as Goff was sacked four times and threw an interception. The Lions also had several penalties that stalled drives.

The Seahawks' win was their third in a row, and they are now 3-1 on the season. The Lions, on the other hand, are 0-4 and have yet to win a game this season.

Conclusion

The Seahawks' win over the Lions was a statement win for the team. They showed that they are a legitimate contender in the NFC, and they are now one of the favorites to win the Super Bowl. The Lions, on the other hand, are still searching for their first win of the season. They have a tough schedule ahead of them, and it is unclear if they will be able to turn their season around.
