The first real test for the Seattle Seahawks is here. We have a road game on Monday night against a presumed Super Bowl contender in the Detroit Lions. Both teams are dealing with several injuries to key starters, but on balance the Seahawks are hit harder due to the number of defensive linemen and outside linebackers they are missing.

If the Seahawks beat the Lions for the fourth year in a row, it will guarantee they will remain in first place heading into their Week 6 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. If they lose, it’s not the end of the world. What I most want to see is cleaner play from attack and a level of effort in defense that suggests they can successfully maneuver a host of injuries under a new head coach.

ABC and ESPN+ will simulcast this game at 5:15 PM PT. This thread is available earlier than usual, so you can talk about the Titans-Dolphins game on ESPN, which comes out at 4:30 p.m.
