Lions vs. Seahawks: Full game preview by position
Wide Receivers
This one is fairly obvious. The Lions have a trio of talented wide receivers named Golden Tate, Kenny Golladay, and Marvin Jones. These wide receivers have their specific areas of expertise, but what makes them so darn hard to cover is that all three of them are great in all areas of the game.

Tate has put up 467 yards on 37 receptions for three touchdowns. Golladay has accrued 465 yards on 29 receptions for three touchdowns. Jones has managed 270 yards on 19 receptions for three touchdowns. You try coming up with a game plan that can take out all three of these receivers. You can’t, it’s impossible. But good luck.
Seattle’s top wide receivers are Doug Baldwin, Tyler Lockett, and David Moore. And I’m willing to bet you don’t even know who David Moore is. Moore is a second-year seventh-round draft pick who exploded out of nowhere to become the Seahawks number three wide receiver this season.
Baldwin has 12 receptions for 133 yards and no touchdowns, but he did start the season with an injury missing, essentially, three games. Lockett, the leading receiver as of now, has 360 yards off of 23 receptions and five touchdowns. David Moore has seven receptions for 124 yards and three touchdowns. These receivers can definitely hurt you, but not like Motor City’s can.
Advantage: Lions
