SERIES NOTES<br />
‣ ¾The Lions opened up a 20-0 lead<br />
and rolled to a 41-14 victory over<br />
the Seahawks in the first-ever<br />
meeting between the two teams<br />
October 24, 1976. QB Greg Landry<br />
threw three touchdown passes for<br />
the Lions, and Seahawks QB Jim<br />
Zorn was intercepted six times,<br />
including two that were returned<br />
for touchdowns (Levi Johnson<br />
and Lem Barney). Zorn was the<br />
Lions quarterbacks coach from<br />
1998-2000.<br />
‣ ¾The Seahawks defeated the Lions<br />
37-14 in the third and final game<br />

three scores.<br />
‣ ¾In the 1990 regular season finale<br />
played December 30, RB Barry<br />
Sanders rushed for 23 yards on nine<br />
carries to claim the NFL rushing<br />
title with 1,304 yards.<br />
‣ ¾The Lions’ game with the Seahawks<br />
played October 17, 1993, a 30-10<br />
Lions’ win, was Detroit’s 800th<br />
contest (including regular and<br />
post-season games) since the<br />
Portsmouth Spartans moved to the<br />
Motor City in 1934.<br />
‣ ¾In the 1999 regular season opener,<br />
the Lions built a 25-7 halftime lead<br />
and held on for a 28-20 victory over<br />
Seattle for the club’s first season<br />
opening road win since 1986.<br />
‣ ¾The Lions and Seahawks met<br />
outside for the first time in 2003,<br />
the Lions first trip to Seahawks<br />
Stadium. Seattle was victorious,<br />
35-14.<br />
‣ ¾In the teams’ most recent meeting<br />
on October 28, 2012, QB Matthew<br />
Stafford engineered his ninth career<br />
fourth-quarter or overtime gamewinning<br />
drive with :20 seconds left<br />
to play in the fourth quarter as he<br />

a one-yard touchdown pass to beat<br />
the Seahawks, 28-24.<br />
