Seahawks' Mike Macdonald after first loss: ‘We're not the team we want to be yet’

As one of just three undefeated teams remaining as they headed into a Monday Night Football contest against the Detroit Lions, the Seattle Seahawks were considered a surprise success story in the NFL.

However, Seattle's three wins had come against a Denver Broncos team led by a rookie quarterback in Bo Nix, the rebuilding New England Patriots and the Miami Dolphins without injured Pro Bowl QB Tua Tagovailoa.

So, Seattle faced its stiffest test yet this season on the road against Detroit. And the grade for Mike Macdonald's Seahawks remains incomplete after a 42-29 Lions rout — Detroit's first win after losing its previous five meetings with Seattle.

Playing without several defensive starters up front, Seattle couldn't hold up against Detroit's smash-mouth running game, as Detroit rumbled to 116 rushing yards and three touchdowns.
