AUBURN -- Dismissed WR D’haquille

2 minutes remaining,
Chancellor came from
the side and punched
the ball from Johnson’s
arm as he was being
tackled by Earl Thomas.
It bounded into the end
zone where it was guided
over the back line by K.J.
Wright for a touchback
and Seattle’s ball at the
20.
Wright should have
been called for an ille-
gal bat for hitting the
ball out of the end zone,
NFL VP of Officiating
Dean Blandino told NFL
Network. The penalty
would have given the ball
back to Detroit at the
Seattle 1.
But no flags were
thrown and on the ensu-
ing possession, Russell
Wilson found Jermaine
Kearse for 50 yards on
third down. With Detroit
out of timeouts, the
Seahawks (2-2) ran off
the final seconds of their
second straight win.
“The back judgewas on
the play and in his judg-
ment he didn’t feel it was
an overt act so he didn’t
throw the flag,” Blandino
said. “In looking at the
replays it looked like a
bat so the enforcement
would be basically we
would go back to the spot
of the fumble and Detroit
would keep the football.”
Wright said he did
not know the rule and
Seattle coach Pete Carroll
acknowledged
the
Seahawks got a break.
“Now that you look at
it, we were fortunate,”
Carroll said.
Detroit (0-4) is off to
its worst start since it also
started 0-4 in 2010 on
its way to a 6-10 season,
and with a schedule that
offers little relief going
forward.
“It’s unfortunate, but
you can’t put the game
in the referee’s hands,”
Johnson said.
It was an ugly per-
formance by the home
team, filled with offen-
sive mistakes and two
fourth-quarter fumbles
by Wilson, the second
returned 27 yards for a
touchdown by Caraun
Reid to pull Detroit to
13-10.
But in the end, Seattle’s
defense came through.
Starting on their 9
with 6:23 remaining, the
Lions converted a big
third down on Golden
Tate’s 22-yard catch-
and-run and reached
the Seattle 46 with 3
minutes left on Ameer
Abdullah’s 9-yard run.
Matthew Stafford then
zipped a pass to No. 3
tight end Tim Wright
down the seam for 26
yards to the Seattle 20
with 2:30 remaining,
placing it in-between
Richard Sherman, Earl
Thomas and Chancellor.
The Lions reached the
Seattle 11 and on third-
and-1, Stafford passed
to an open Johnson. As
he stretched for the goal
line, Chancellor came
across and knocked the
ball free.
Seattle has not allowed
an offensive touchdown
in the two games since
Chancellor ended his
holdout and has forced
18 punts during that
stretch.
“It was big time,”
Seattle
linebacker
Bobby Wagner said of
Chancellor’s return. “He
just made us a whole
defense.”
Wilson was forced to
be an escape artist as
Seattle’s offensive line
continued to struggle
with protection. Wilson
threw for 287 yards and
rushed for another 40
yards. Wilson’s most
memorable play was
spinning free of two near
sacks and finding Kearse
for 34 yards in the sec-
ond quarter, and then
hitting Doug Baldwin on
a 24-yard TD on the next
play.
Seattle was without
Marshawn Lynch for the
first time since Week 7 of
the 2011 season against
Cleveland when Lynch
had back problems flare
up during pregame war-
mups. Thomas Rawls
rushed for 104 yards last
week in relief of Lynch,
but could not get start-
ed against a better Lions
defense. Rawls finished
with 48 yards on 17
carries.
Stafford was 24 of 35
for 203 yards for Detroit,
which lost starting tight
end Eric Ebron and both
starting defensive tackles
Haloti Ngata and Tyrunn
Walker to injuries.
Ebron suffered a knee
injury in the first half
after having two early
catches, while Ngata and
Walker both went out in
the second half. Ngata
suffered a calf injury
while Walker was taken
off on a cart after suffer-
ing a left leg injury in the
fourth quarter.
