Lions Free AgencyReports: Former Lions DE Ezekiel Ansah signing 1-year deal with
the SeahawksNew
Luke Willson Jersey ,82commentsAnsah is headed to the west coast. EDTShareTweetShareShareReports: Former Lions DE Ezekiel Ansah signing 1-year
deal with the SeahawksPhoto by Steve Dykes/Getty ImagesWednesday night, the
Seattle Seahawks came to an agreement with former Detroit Lions defensive end
Ezekiel Ansah for a one-year deal, as reported by both NFL Network’s Ian
Rapoport and ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The terms of the deal have yet to be
announced, but it’s of little surprise that the contract is just for one year
considering the significant risk Ansah poses. The former Lions pass rusher has
proven to be extremely valuable when available, however, injuries have marred
the past three years of his career
Jarrad Davis Jersey White , both causing him to be ineffective on the field or sidelined for big chunks of games.Coming off shoulder surgery, it’s unknown how
ready for the regular season Ansah will be, but Seattle is likely a good landing
spot for him, seeing as they’re looking to fill a pretty significant hole where
Frank Clark used to be.Because the Seahawks waited until after Tuesday’s
deadline, the acquisition of Ansah will not affect the compensatory pick formula
for both the Lions and Seattle.UPDATE: ESPN’s Brady Henderson has some contract
details for Ansah:UPDATE 2: It sounds like Ansah is already expected to miss
some time in Seattle and may not even be ready for the regular season: Sam
Darnold made a stellar debut despite throwing a pick-6 on his first NFL pass and
the New York Jets intercepted five passes while routing the Detroit Lions 48-17
in their season opener Monday night.The 21-year-old Darnold became the youngest
quarterback to start a season opener since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger, and he got
off to an inauspicious start. Quandre Diggs intercepted his ill-advised lob down
the left sideline on the first play from scrimmage and returned it 37 yards for
a touchdown 20 seconds into the game.The former USC star shook off the rough
start by completing 16 of 21 passes for 198 yards and two touchdowns. He helped
the Jets set a franchise record for points on the road
Womens Frank Ragnow Jersey , surpassing the 47 points they scored in 1967 against the Boston Patriots, and outplayed 30-year-old Matthew Stafford.Stafford
threw four interceptions — one shy of his career high — and left the game
briefly in the third quarter after being hit from the front and back. He was
mercifully taken out of the game midway through the fourth quarter and replaced
by Matt Cassel with Detroit down 31. Stafford was 27 of 46 for 286 yards and a
TD pass to Golden Tate early in the third quarter to tie it at 17.The Jets
dominated in all phases. They scored 31 straight in the third quarter to pull
away, sending Detroit’s fans for the exits and setting off a jolly green party
in the Motor City.It was the highest-scoring third quarter in team history and
trailed only the 34-point second quarter the Brett Favre-led team scored in 2008
against Arizona.New York scored on the ground and through the air, on defense
and on a punt return. The Jets could’ve scored even more in the final minutes
but turned the ball over on downs after kneeling to take time off the clock.
Darnold flipped the ball to a referee after the final kneel down, and the
official gave it right back before shaking the rookie’s hand.It was a miserable
coaching debut for Detroit’s Matt Patricia. New NFL head coaches dropped to 0-6
in Week 1, with Oakland’s Jon Gruden the group’s final hope for an opening
victory in the Monday nightcap.Linebacker Darron Lee had two of New York’s
interceptions
Sam Martin Jersey White , including one he ran back 36 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter. Trumaine Johnson, Morris Claiborne and Jamal Adams also
picked off passes in a big opener for the Jets’ “New Jack City” secondary.Late
in the game, just before Cassel threw an interception, hundreds of New York fans
chanted: “J-E-T-S, JETS! JETS! JETS!” A crew clad in green and white filed into
seats in four sections along the New York sideline and appeared to outnumber
Detroit fans who stuck around for the bitter end.INJURIESJets: CB Johnson (head
injury) and CB Buster Skrine (rib) returned to play after leaving the field with
injuries. Johnson was evaluated after he intercepted a pass and fumbled after
taking a hard hit from Detroit receiver Kenny Golladay.Lions: DE Ezekiel Ansah,
who has struggled to get and stay healthy
T.J. Jones Jersey , left the game with a shoulder after making four tackles, including a sack. OG T.J. Lang left the game with a back injury. CB Darius Slay
returned to play after leaving the field to be evaluated for a concussion.UP

on Sunday.
