Bad break, missed call allows Seattle to beat Detroit

SEATTLE (AP) — The Detroit Lions fumbled away their chance at completing a drive that could turnaround the winless start to their season.

Then the officials fumbled another Monday night call in Seattle in the same end zone as the infamous “Fail Mary.”

“What can you do? You’re not going to cry about it that’s for sure,” Detroit coach Jim Caldwell said.

Seattle safety Kam Chancellor knocked the ball free from Detroit wide receiver Calvin Johnson at the 1-yard line when it appeared the Lions (0-4) were going to take the lead, and Seattle (2-2) held on for a 13-10 win on Monday night.
