ByTimBooth The Associated Press SEATTLE With one big punch, Kam Chancellor showed his importance to the Seattle Seahawks. And once again, the Se- ahawks may have received another Monday night break from the officials in the same end zone where the infamous "Fail Mary" took place. Chancellor knocked the ball free from Detroit wide receiver Calvin Johnson at the 1-yard line when it ap- peared the Lions were go- ing to take the lead, and Seattle held on for a 13-10 win. 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 being tackled by Earl Thomas. The ball bounded into the end zone where it was guided over the back line by K.J. Wright for a touch- back and Seattle's ball at the 20. Wright could have been called for illegal touching for hitting the ball out of the end zone, which would have given the ball back to Detroit. But no flags were thrown and on the ensuing posses- sion, Russell Wilson found Jermaine Kearse for 50 yards on third down. With Detroit out of timeouts, the Seahawks (2- 2) ran off the final seconds of their second straight win. "We can't change it now," Seattle linebacker Bobby Wagner said. "It is what it is. We won and we're going to move on." Detroit fell to 0-4 for its worst start since 2010 when the Lions also started 0-4 on their way to a 6-10 sea- son, and with a schedule that offers little relief go- ing forward. NFL Ch an ce ll or 's b ig p la y al lo ws Seattle to beat Detroit 13-10 with a 12-0 first quarter but the Vikings picked it up and put up 24 unanswered points in the second. Loy- alton scored again in the third and twice more in the fourth, while the Bulldogs managed just one score in the fourth. Bulldogs quarterback Tyler Winter went 8-12 for 67 yards and a pick and put up 78 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries. On defense he recorded 9 tackles. AlexRussellwasthelead- ing rusher with 216 yards and 2 touchdowns on 23 carries. He also had 7 re- ceptions for 57 yards and 7 tackles. Josue Orozco had 58 yards on 12 carries and a 10-yard reception. On de- fense he notched 11 tack- les. Jared Costa had 9 tack- les and a sack. He had 3 kickoffs for 61 yards and a touchback and 3 kickoff re- turns for 43 yards. The Bulldogs are sched- uled to host the Mercy Warriors Friday night in the Little Tehama County Shootout. Roundup FROM PAGE 1 Spartan fumble and re- turned it for another score. Less than halfway through the first quarter, the Wolves scored again and went up 28-0. A75-yardrunand51-yard catch and run each resulted in Shasta touchdown, put- ting the Wolves up 42-0 at the end of the quarter. In the second quarter, with Shasta making some personnel changes, the Spartans found success. In the opening seconds of the second quarter the Spartans were able to stop Shasta on 4th and short to take over at their own 8 yard line. Red Bluff held Shasta scoreless and with 4:17 left in the half Wes Claw- son connected with Con- ner McKenzie for a 31-yard touchdown pass to prevent the shutout. The Spartans put to- gether a solid drive in clos- ing 2 minutes of half, but were stopped at Shasta 30. As the second half started the clock was al- lowed to run due to the score differential. Shasta took the kickoff and drove down the field for a score, but the extra point bounced off the up- right. With 7:43 left in the game, the Wolves scored their final touchdown to put the at 55-7. Red Bluff got the ball into the red zone late in the fourth quarter, but couldn't score as time ran out. Hein cautioned his play- ers to not let the loss cause them to turn on each other or give up on the season. "You finish what you start," Hein said. "That's being a man." Hein told his players to enjoy homecoming week- end but be ready to prepare to face 5-1 Chico next week. The team will then travel to Paradise and Enterprise before finishing the season at home against the power- house undefeated Pleasant Valley Vikings. "The next four weeks are going to reveal a lot about you guys and your charac- ter," Hein said. Hein said some of the in- jured starters are expected to return to action against Chico next week.

On the air worry about St. Louis until the NL Championship Se- ries, if at all, and instead turns his attention this week to an NL Division Series showdown versus the Mets, against whom he posted an 0.56 ERA in two starts this season. FIRST-TIMERS Jose Bau- tista is a home run cham- pion, Jose Altuve is a hit machine and Jake Arrieta is the top winner in the majors. They'll put some- thing else on their resumes this week, too — their first postseason appearances. Altuve and Astros rookie teammate Carlos Correa, Arrieta and Cubs sluggers Anthony Rizzo and Bry- ant, young Mets aces Matt Harvey, Jacob deGrom and Noah Syndergaard, Yan- kees star Masahiro Tanaka and Dodgers newcomer Co- rey Seager are set to make their playoff debuts. FRIENDLY CONFINES Could this be the year the century-plus title drought ends on the North Side of Chicago? When the Cubs last won the World Series in 1908, Roosevelt was president — Theodore Roo- sevelt. They haven't even reached the World Series since 1945, two years be- fore baseball's champion- ship was televised for the first time. But with Bry- ant and Arrieta, hopes are high at Wrigley Field, the quaint ballpark that moved into the 21st century this year with a renovation that included — gasp! — a 3,990-square foot video board above the left-field bleachers and a smaller one in right. With the Se- ries extending into Novem- ber, the Cubs hope fans ev- erywhere will be watching as the ivy along the outfield walls turns red and brown. A-ROD IS BACK Written off by many last year during his one-season drug sus- pension, Alex Rodriguez re- turnedthisyearandcarried the Yankees' lineup early. Shifted from third base to designatedhitter,hehit.250 with33homersand86RBIs. He passed Willie Mays for fourth on the career home run list, reached 3,000 hits and settled a dispute with the team over a multimil- lion marketing payment. But around the time of his 40thbirthdayinlateJuly,he wentintoaslumpandtailed off badly. A-Rod hit .216 af- ter the All-Star break and drove in just three runs in his final 18 games.
