Officials botch a 2-point try by Seahawks, who don’t challenge

The Seahawks pulled within 28-20 for eleven seconds, but after Kenneth Walker’s one-yard run they decided to go for two. It’s a move recommended by analytics.

Geno Smith threw a pass to DK Metcalf in the end zone during the try. Metcalf caught it, but officials ruled it incomplete. Cornerback Carlton Davis was called for pass interference, giving Seattle another chance.

However, replays showed that Metcalf had his knee in bounds, so it should have been ruled a successful effort.

Seattle didn’t challenge.

Smith’s second attempt against Jake Bobo fell incomplete, giving the Lions an 8-point lead.

The Lions opened up a two-point lead on their next attack.

Jared Goff hit Jameson Williams for a one-play, 70-yard score and a 35-20 lead.

Goff is 15-for-15 for 225 yards and a touchdown, and he also caught a touchdown pass on a trick play where Amon-Ra St. Brown threw his first touchdown.
