While offense thrives and defense stumbles, Lions players remain unified

Detroit — When you score 45 points, you should win in the NFL. But for just the 20th time in league history, and first time in franchise history, the Detroit Lions came up on the wrong side of that equation when they fell to the Seattle Seahawks, 48-45, on Sunday.

As you might imagine, the scenario naturally carries frustrations, frustrations that could easily spill over into finger-pointing. That's especially true for a team like the Lions, where the offense has consistently been shouldering the load to start the campaign, just as much as the defensive continues to let the team down.
