The Seahawks have a habit of making Monday Night Football games exciting.
This week's matchup was no exception, with Seattle bringing its contest with the Detroit Lions down to the wire, winning 13-10 on a goal-line forced fumble by Kam Chancellor that resulted in a touchback and gave Seattle the ball with less than two minutes on the clock.

The play was the highlight of the week, and videos, still photos, and recaps flooded timelines on every network.
