SEATTLE (AP) — Russell Wilson threw for 235 yards and a touchdown, and Kam Chancellor made a huge defense stop in Seattle's 13-10 win over Detroit last night. The Lions were about to complete a 91-yard touchdown drive when Chancellor punched the ball out of the hands of wide receiver Calvin Johnson at the Seattle 1, causing a safety that gave the Seahawks the ball with 1:45 left. The Seahawks improved to 2-2 with their second straight win, and the Lions dropped to 0-4 for the first time in five years.
