'We needed this badly': Seahawks dodge 0-2 hole, win in OT

DETROIT -- Geno Smith shrugged off a bad mistake to lead a 75-yard drive in overtime, capping it with a touchdown pass to Tyler Lockett that gave the Seattle Seahawks a 37-31 win over the Detroit Lions at a raucous Ford Field on Sunday.

The Seahawks' victory avoided a 0-2 start and marked a swift turnaround from their blowout loss at home in the opener. To hear coach Pete Carroll and several of his players tell it, that bounce back began Wednesday.

With a fiery speech from Bobby Wagner.
