Seattle — Some things never change.
The Lions couldn’t get it done in the postseason — thanks in large part to execution errors and boneheaded penalties — and the game was marred by its fair share of officiating controversy. Par for the course as the Lions fell to the Seattle Seahawks, 26-6, Saturday in the wild-card round of the NFC playoffs.
There’s little doubt that Monday’s water cooler talk will center around two non-calls that went against the Lions, but the team inflicted plenty of its own wounds in defeat.
Veterans Anquan Boldin and Haloti Ngata, the two players with the most postseason experience on Detroit’s roster, combined for three personal-foul penalties.
