In an overtime thriller, the Seattle Seahawks went on the road and defeated the Detroit Lions 37-31, scoring a touchdown on their first possession in overtime. The Seahawks and Lions both go to 1-1 on the season.

Offensive spotlight: Though both quarterbacks really played impressive games going back and forth, we have to give the offensive spotlight a nod to the winning quarterback, Geno Smith.

Smith finished the game 32-for-41 with 328 passing yards, two passing touchdowns and no interceptions.

Defensive spotlight: Seahawks cornerback Tre Brown had the biggest defensive play of the game when he intercepted Jared Goff and returned it for a touchdown in the fourth quarter.

Brown also recorded a sack, two pass breakups and a forced fumble.

Rookie spotlight: The Seahawks' 2023 first-round pick, cornerback Devon Witherspoon, made his NFL debut this week. He tallied four total tackles and one pass breakup on the day.
