Numbers Of Note From The Seahawks’ Week 4 Loss To The Lions (2024)

The Seahawks lost for the first time this season, falling 42-29 to the Lions to drop their record to 3-1. The game saw an injury-depleted defense struggle to stop the Lions, while Geno Smith and the offense did all they could to keep the Seahawks in it until the end.

In addition to that final score, here are 12 numbers of note that help tell the story of Monday's loss at Ford Field:

43, 42, 41, 40

Snaps played, respectively, by Derick Hall, Dre'Mont Jones, Johnathan Hankins and Jarran Reed, all of whom were putting in extra work with Boye Mafe, Uchenna Nwosu, Leonard Williams and Byron Murphy II sidelined by injuries. For Hall, the 81 percent playing time was the highest of his career, while Hankins' 77 percent playing time was his highest since 2019.

42

Points scored by Detroit, by far the most allowed by Seattle this year. Previously, the Seahawks had not allowed more than 20 points in a game through the first three weeks of the season.

7.8

Yards gained per play by the Lions, double the 3.9 yards per play average by Seahawks opponents through the first three games.

18

Passes attempted and completed by Lions quarterback Jared Goff, who in addition to completing every pass attempt, also caught one for a 7-yard touchdown, making Detroit 19 for 19 passing as a team. The only other team to complete 100 percent of its passes in a game, according to Pro Football Reference, was the 1942 Giants, who were 1 for 1 in a 14-7 win.

Takeaways for Seattle's defense, which has not forced a turnover since having three in the opener.

38

First downs made by the Seahawks, the most in a game in franchise history.

516

Yards gained by Seattle's offense, their highest total since gaining 555 against Detroit in Week 4 of the 2022 season.

395

Passing yards for Geno Smith, a career high. Smith also had career highs in completions (38) and pass attempts (56).

104

Yards, on seven receptions, for DK Metcalf, making him the first player in franchise history to have three straight games with 100 receiving yards.

3

Touchdown runs for Kenneth Walker III, who had 80 yards on 12 carries in his first game back after missing the previous two with an oblique injury. It was the first three-touchdown game of Walker's NFL career, besting his previous high of two, which he accomplished five times over the past two seasons.

4.0

Team leading sack total this season for Derick Hall after he added another on Sunday, an impressive one-handed toss of Lions QB Jared Goff.

Sacks for Pro Bowl defensive end Aidan Hutchinson, who came into Week 4 with a league-leading 6.5 sacks, a reflection of the job Stone Forsythe, Charles Cross and company were able to do while pass blocking on 56 drop backs.
