In the second of two Week 4 “Monday Night Football” games, the Detroit Lions play host to the Seattle Seahawks.
Seattle is one of the league’s surprising unbeaten teams, and will reside in first place in the NFC West no matter the result on Monday night. Detroit is 2-1 after playing three consecutive one-score games, and doesn’t seem to have hit its stride just yet.
