Seahawks ice victory on controversial non-call

Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor saved the Seahawks on Monday night when he forced a Calvin Johnson fumble on the 1-yard line. The ball rolled toward the back of the end zone, where Seahawks linebacker KJ Wright batted the ball out of bounds to give the Seahawks a touchback and possession of the football. The Seahawks then burned the remaining time off the clock.

Yet the ball should have never gone back to the Seahawks. Instead, the ball should have been awarded to the Lions inside the 1-yard line. Yet, due to an error in officiating, the ball was given to the Seahawks, costing the Lions a chance at their first win.
