The second game on Saturday will have Detroit on the road facing the Seattle Seahawks and the 12s. Seattle has seen their share of injuries in 2016. Quarterback Russell Wilson has still thrown for over 4200 yards, but the Seahawks run game has been non-existent with a 4.4 yard average for the season. Last week they brought in former Oregon Duck LaMichael James for a workout, but he was not an option.

Fullback Will Tukuafu has seen action in just 7 games this season and has credit for two attempts for just two yards at Fullback. He is in his seventh season in the league with both San Francisco and Seattle. Haloti Ngata has seen plenty of action in the NFL.

Ngata is in his second season with the Detroit Lions after spending nine seasons with Baltimore. This season he has played in 13 games and had 22 combined tackles, 11 solo and 11 assists. Ngata also has credit for a sack and a half and 3 passes defended.

The Detroit Lions and Seattle Seahawks kickoff at 5:15pm Pacific Time on Saturday.
