Seahawks

The resurgent Detroit Lions pulled off a fourth-quarter rally in Wisconsin Sunday night, knocking off the Green Bay Packers, 20-16, and allowing the Seattle ...

They got off to a 6-3 start that put them in first place in the NFC West, then dropped five of their next six to fall out of the NFC playoff standings before winning their final two games. Smith actually positioned the Seahawks for what would have been the game-winning kick at the end of regulation, but They were projected to win 5.5 games and finish last in the NFC West. The Seahawks kept their playoff hopes alive earlier in the day by beating the [Los Angeles Rams](/nfl/team/_/name/lar/los-angeles-rams), [19-16](/nfl/game/_/gameId/401437963), in overtime, which left them needing a Lions win or tie to send Seattle to the playoffs as the NFC's seventh seed. "If you're going to do something here special at the end, you've got to beat really good teams. Seattle has lost twice this season to its divisional rival -- 27-7 in Week 2 and 21-13 in Week 15.

Seahawks receiver Tyler Lockett became just the third player in team history to win the prestigious Steve Largent Award in consecutive seasons.

With just 21 yards on Sunday, Lockett will have his fourth straight 1,000-yard season, matching Largent for the longest such streak in team history. It's pretty cool to win this and be seen as a person and not just a player." And the connections go beyond the Seahawks record books, Largent and Lockett also share a birthday and birth place, Tulsa, Oklahoma.

With an overtime interception, Seahawks safety Quandre Diggs helped the Seahawks beat the Lions to keep their playoff hopes alive.

"To have the respect and the love and appreciation that I have for him, and the same that he has for me—you've got a hall of fame player, a hall of fame person that loves you and respects you, and always looks out for me no matter what, for me it's so dope to have that type of bond and relationship. "As soon as I caught it I saw him over there," he said. In Seattle's season-finale a year ago, Diggs broke his leg and dislocated his ankle, an injury made all the worse by the fact that he about to hit free agency. "I'm blessed, I'm thankful for the opportunity. He is such a great ball hawk that of course he is going to make that play if you give him a chance. He is a great leader, and they've got nicknames for him and all kinds of stuff, and he is tough as nails. Instead, Diggs had his fourth interception of the season, and after a 17-yard Geno Smith-to-Tyler Lockett pass and a 20-yard Kenneth Walker III run, the Seahawks were in range for Jason Myers to kick the game-winner, giving the Seahawks a 19-16 win. All I saw was the ball, and I was like, 'I'm going to go get it,' and I was able to go get it and I caught it. And if a game-changing interception wasn't sweet enough on its own for Diggs, the moment was even more special because it came one day short of a much more forgettable ending to a season for Diggs. If that ball is in his area, he is going to get it. "Oh man, I felt like I was 25 again running and jumping in the air," Diggs said. "For me it was just one of those plays, they drew it up perfect, they got us in the coverage that they wanted us in, and I was able to just go out and make a play.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers ahead of Week 18 vs. Detroit Lions, "This team has the chance to make a run.".

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I'm sure Seattle fans would agree, especially after watching the Lions beat the Packers to send their beloved Seahawks ...

If this was it for Bruce Irvin, he made it count. He was credited with 1.5 sacks in what might have been his final game with the Seahawks.

Hopefully it will last with them for a lifetime.” “He’s special, and he’s been displaying that this last month. “It’s been an amazing career to get to this point. They signed him to the 53-man roster a few weeks later. “So I don’t know what my future holds. “I don’t know what my future holds.

“I know that A Rod is thinking, I know he is living for this moment, to go in and beat the Lions so that he can talk trash," Diggs said. Diggs explained that he understood that a Seahawks win would mean that the Lions were eliminated from postseason contention. "I am like, 'Hey, I wouldn’t mind taking y’all on vacation if you go ahead and get a W," Diggs said. Diggs has been with the Seahawks since 2019, but he spent the first four-plus seasons of his career in Detroit. The Seahawks Pro Bowler managed to catch it and that set up the game-winning field goal drive in Seattle's 19-16 win. They need the Lions to beat the Packers on "Sunday Night Football" to avoid falling out of the final playoff spot.

Once Quandre Diggs made his season-saving interception in overtime, he couldn't resist the chance to gloat in front of Bobby Wagner.

Wright were the unquestioned leaders of the Seahawks defense. To me, it’s so dope to have that type of bond, that relationship.” Wagner, making his first appearance as an opponent at Lumen Field, had seven tackles, one tackle for loss and one quarterback hit for the Rams on Sunday. And then to come to make a play like that, it’s just beautiful and fitting, and I’m really happy for him.” He’s a great leader, and they’ve got nicknames for him and all kinds of stuff. Like a little brother, the menace.

The Seahawks Week 18 win, combined with a Lions win over the Packers, gave the Seahawks a playoff berth.

"They're going to be as high and flying as you can go. "It's really been a terrific year," Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said on KING 5 following the Lions win. 5 overall pick thanks to the trade that sent Russell Wilson to the Broncos, as well as their own first-round pick, and a pair of second-rounders. The Seahawks will travel to the Bay Area to face the 49ers, the NFC's No. A few hours later, the Lions, who were eliminated from playoff contention by Seattle's loss, came through with a 20-16 win over the Packers that knocked their NFC North rival out of the playoffs and handed Seattle the NFC's No. Heading into Week 18, the Seahawks needed a win and some help, and they did their part by beating the Rams 19-16 in overtime.

Amid all the conspiracy theories about how the NFL wanted to give Green Bay Packers an easier game by putting them on Sunday night, when the Detroit Lions ...

On the ensuing drive, rookie Boye Mofe displayed remarkable effort running around the left tackle and working his way back to the line of scrimmage to sack Mayfield on third down, leading to a Rams field goal to keep the game at a 6-6 tie. Luckily for Myers, like Smith, his teammates picked up the slack to grant him a chance to amend for his miscue. Mayfield's success continued into the early portion of the second half, as he completed several passes on bootlegs with little resistance from the Seahawks as they tacked on a field goal in response to Smith's touchdown pass. All year long, even as Seattle has struggled at times stopping opposing run games and the offense has looked discombobulated for stretches, Myers has been the one constant for a young, upcoming team. After the Rams took a quick three-point lead, Smith marched the Seahawks down to the 14-yard line, but committed a false start on a wildcat play and the offense couldn't recover with his third down pass to Metcalf getting knocked away in the end zone. Though Myers made the kick, not scoring a touchdown in such an advantageous situation easily could have cost them, especially after the reliable kicker failed to win the game at the end of regulation. Those demoralizing trends unfortunately continued in Sunday's game with the offense converting on only one out of 11 third down opportunities and failing to find the end zone on four chances inside the opposing 20-yard line. But after that point, the home team went into lockdown mode, forcing punts on three straight drives that netted less than 15 total yards of offense and limiting Akers effectiveness with just 45 rushing yards after halftime. He quickly struck to tie the game, throwing a perfect deep ball to Lockett, who made a Billy Mays-esque basket catch in the back of the end zone to push himself over the 1,000-yard mark for the season. Defensively, Quandre Diggs made a crucial interception in the final period to set up a game-winning field goal for Jason Myers and Bruce Irvin led a ferocious pass rush with 1.5 sacks on Baker Mayfield. In the third quarter, Smith appeared poised to turn the page in a major way, hooking up with Colby Parkinson and DK Metcalf for 15 and 23-yard completions to open Seattle's first drive of the half. Pressing out of the gate, he was picked off by Rams star corner Jalen Ramsey on the first play from scrimmage trying to squeeze the ball to DK Metcalf on a slant, setting up a quick Matt Gay field goal.

Les premiers points pour le clan perdant sont survenus à la fin du troisième quart lorsque Graham Gano s’est élancé pour un placement de 24 verges qui est passé au centre des deux poteaux. La formation visiteuse s’était imposée en premier grâce au majeur de A.J. Le seul majeur de sa formation a été inscrit par Boston Scott avec une course de huit verges. La rencontre a été un peu plus compliquée que prévu pour les hommes de Nick Sirianni. Le numéro 30 des Lions a obtenu un 17e touché par la course au cours de la saison qui est le nouveau record de franchise. C’est le deuxième majeur du match de Jamaal Williams qui aura fait la différence au quatrième quart.
