Per a report from NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the Detroit Lions will interview Seattle Seahawks offensive passing game coordinator Jake Peetz for its offensive coordinator vacancy. Peetz, 42, has spent the past two seasons with the Seahawks as its offensive passing game coordinator.

Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is fifth in the league in passing with 4,048 passing yards. Darnold has thrown for 25 touchdowns. Seahawks receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba has reeled in 119 catches for 1,793 yards and 10 scores.

In 2024, Peetz oversaw a Seattle passing game that featured Geno Smith passing for 4,320 yards and 21 touchdowns.
