It was not a successful final road trip for the 2021 season for the Detroit Lions. The Week 17 visit to Seattle produced one of the most lopsided losses of a season where Detroit has now fallen to a 2-13-1 record with one game left to play.

For the most succinct recap of the Seahawks’ 51-29 win, in the above sentence, I typed the 2-13-1 as 2-31-1 — twice — and it felt appropriate. That’s how this game felt.

With Dan Campbell’s Lions starting deep reserves, practice squad call-ups and players who will likely never cash another NFL paycheck after this season in far too many key roles all over the lineup, it wasn’t really much of a contest. Seattle surged out to an early double-digit lead and the Lions never threatened to win thereafter.
