"We villains, right? It's part of us," he added, via The Detroit News. "It's the culture. I'm changing it."

The defense really stepped up against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. Brian Branch turned a missed catch into an interception return for a touchdown. It proved to be one of the difference makers.

Detroit held Mahomes to 226 passing yards. He was 21-of-39 with two touchdowns.

The Seahawks are coming into this Sunday’s game against the Lions 0-1 after a 30-13 loss against the Los Angeles Rams. Los Angeles hung 426 yards on the Seattle on nine total drives.
