Seahawks rookie cornerback Tariq Woolen opens second half with pick-six

DETROIT -- The Seattle Seahawks built a 24-15 halftime lead over the Detroit Lions with brilliant play from Geno Smith and their offense. Their defense, up and down over the first 30 minutes, wasted no time in the third quarter getting in on the action.

On the opening play, rookie cornerback Tariq Woolen undercut a crossing route, picked off Jared Goff and raced 40 yards to the end zone for a touchdown that extended Seattle's lead to 31-15. It's the second straight week with an interception for Woolen, a fifth-round pick from UTSA who earned a starting job out of training camp.
