There was a ton of excitement for Detroit Lions fans heading into Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks. Not only did the team have a chance to move to 4-3 on the season, but they also had a new “impact” defender making his debut.
Last week, the Lions traded a fifth-round pick to the New York Giants for DT Damon “Snacks” Harrison. Acquiring Harrison was perfect for the Lions as their defense through six games was one of the worst in the NFL when it came to stopping the run.
Well, the Lions may have lost the game, but Harrison was certainly a bright spot.
In fact, in his first game with the team, “Snacks” accomplished something no Lion had ever accomplished before as he became the first DT in franchise history to record seven solo tackles, a sack, and two tackles for loss in a single game.

The Lions may have lost big on Sunday, but there is no question about it, Damon Harrison is going to be an absolute beast for the defense.

BONUS CONTENT:Detroit Lions DL Ricky Jean Francois calls out teammates following loss to Seahawks
The Detroit Lions should be embarrassed after their abysmal performance during Sunday’s 28-14 loss at home to the Seattle Seahawks. After all, the Lions were dominated in all three phases of the game as the Seahawks were clearly the more prepared team and the team that wanted the win the most.
Following the game, Lions defensive lineman Ricky Jean Francois spoke to the media and he was clearly not thrilled as he called out his teammates.
“We didn’t focus on nothing, we couldn’t stop the run, and we let the Seattle offense control the game. We killed ourselves in penalties, we didn’t connect with their plays and we didn’t focus at all. We were just out there playing.”
