DETROIT (9-7) at SEATTLE (10-5-1)
REGULAR-SEASON SERIES RECORD: Seahawks lead 8-5
POSTSEASON SERIES RECORD: First meeting
OPENING LINE: Seattle by 8.
MOST IMPRESSIVE WIN
Lions: A 20-16 decision at Minnesota in early November, sparking a run to top of division.
Seahawks: Held on with goal-line stand to win 31-24 at Patriots in Game 9.
WORST LOSS
Lions: Falling to Packers twice, especially in season finale to lose NFC North title.
Seahawks: Somehow they stunk it up against Rams in Week 2, though it was LA debut for Rams.
NOTES: Detroit lost three in a row to blow division. ... QB Matthew Stafford had strong season, but struggled with finger injury down stretch. ... Seattle had up-and-down season, even losing once at home (to Arizona). ... Missing star safety Earl Thomas and running game has been spotty.
