Bill Belichick knows the rules about batting balls, claims Former Patriot Colvin

With Detroit on the verge of capping a 91-yard drive with the go-ahead touchdown with less than 2 minutes remaining, Chancellor came from the side and punched the ball from Johnson’s arm as he was diving into the end zone. It was calculated and intentional and added another Monday night controversy to Seattle’s history. It would have given the Lions the ball inside the 1-yard line with a first down. The rest of the time was spent attacking Williams, including on one first-half play in which Stafford overthrew Johnson on a deep route.

It is a violation of the rules for a player to intentionally knock the ball out of the back of the end zone.

“It’s exactly what this team stands for”, Chancellor said. “We fight to the end”. “We have faith in each other and faith in our ability”.

The Seattle Seahawks managed to avoid an upset by the Detroit Lions, winning 13-10 Monday night thanks in part to a call that will likely be argued all week and possibly all season. The fumbled ball went into the end zone, and then was seemingly hit out of bounds illegally by K.J Wright. “That’s something that has to be called on the field”.

Moments after the Detroit Lions lost their fourth straight game, this time on a penalty that should have been called, Lions head coach Jim Caldwell may have been too exasperated to articulate his thoughts.

“I know that there is always going to be that discussion, because technology is not going backwards”, McKay said. Caldwell said Walker’s injury was significant. “What can you do? So I know now”. Bennett said. “My kids go to private school”.

“Now that you look it at, we’re fortunate in that one”, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said.

NFL VP of Officiating Dean Blandino told the NFL Network that Wright should have been flagged for an illegal bat, which would have given the ball back to Detroit with a first down inside the Seattle one-yard line.

Since the return of Kam Chancellor to the lineup in Week 3, the defense of the Seattle Seahawks has returned to the dominant form they have shown over the previous three seasons.

The reason I don’t agree is that there are multiple flags thrown every game for penalties that didn’t affect the play at all. Detroit entered the game with the NFL’s lowest opponent passer rating in blitz situations, and yet here were the Lions, rushing six and failing to communicate their coverage assignments as both Graham and Kearse were inexplicably turned loose.

Now, he’s 0-4.

Detroit’s security, meanwhile, compelled four fumbles, fired Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson 3 occasions when and cooked up going on a 27-yard bungle yield by defending handle Caraun Reid.

Seattle (2-2) managed 345 total yards.

“I didn’t want to try and catch it and fumble it, ” he said.

The Detroit defense stopped the Seattle offense on it’s next possession and the script that everyone was supposed to be following was now flipped in Detroit’s favor. They had a few very important stops that had them kicking field goals instead of scoring touchdowns.
