It seems every time the Seahawks visit the Lions they get into a shootout. Last year, Seattle survived a 48-45 matchup early in the season, with Jared Goff and Geno Smith trading touchdowns right up until the end. While yesterday’s game wasn’t quite as high-scoring, it was nevertheless another close game with a wild ending.
Ford Field was rocking throughout the contest, courtesy of a fanbase that hasn’t had much to get excited about these last 30 years. Lions DB C.J. Gardner Johnson goaded them on further by encouraging fans to bring blue ski masks to the game.
Afterwards, Seahawks rookie safety Jerrick Reed got his hands on one of them, put it on and went live on social media from the locker room, which was positively jubilant. Watch.
