Seattle (AFP) - Seattle's Kam Chancellor forced a Detroit fumble with less than two minutes to play as the Seahawks held on for a 13-10 victory that kept the Lions winless in this NFL season.

Chancellor punched the ball out of the hands of Calvin Johnson as the Lions wide receiver was lunging for the end zone.

With Detroit trailing 13-10, quarterback Matthew Stafford had driven the Lions from their own nine yard line to Seattle's 11 yard line and on third down and one, with 1:51 remaining, he hit Johnson with a short pass.
