N.F.L. Roundup: Seahawks Hold On to Defeat the Lions

Kam Chancellor punched the ball free from Detroit wide receiver Calvin Johnson at the 1-yard line when it appeared the Lions were going to take the lead, and the Seahawks held on for a 13-10 win on Monday night in Seattle.

With Detroit on the verge of capping a 91-yard drive with the go-ahead touchdown with less than two minutes remaining, Chancellor came from the side and punched the ball from Johnson’s arm as he was being tackled by Earl Thomas. The ball bounded into the end zone and went over the back line for a touchback, giving Seattle possession at its 20.
