Sinking Seahawks could always be worse

SEATTLE (AP) — Losses are piling up as much as the injuries in Seattle. Fans spoiled by five consecutive trips to the playoffs earlier in the decade — was it really in this decade? — want answers. Or victims, besides themselves.

Yet before die-hards of the flopping Seahawks (2-5) ponder just how far a jump would be off the Space Needle, they should consider what longer sufferers in Detroit already know'

No one does losing like the Lions.

"Going 0-16 is nothing I'm proud of, but it's on my resume forever. I'll live with that the rest of my life," Seahawks defensive tackle Cory Redding said.

Last year he endured the NFL's first winless 16-game season, then he escaped to Seattle in a trade for linebacker Julian Peterson last spring.

When Detroit finally won a game in Week 3, against Washington, Redding called some of his former teammates. A cross-continental party erupted over the phone line after what remains Detroit's only win in its last 24 games entering Sunday's visit to Seattle.
