Matt Hasselbeck rallied the Seahawks from a 17-0 deficit with a franchise-record 39 completions, and Seattle held off Detroit 32-20 on Sunday to avoid the indignity of being the first home team to lose to the Lions in 25 months.
Hasselbeck threw an interception on his first play but finished with the first 300-yard passing game in two seasons for the Seahawks (3-5). He was 39 of 51 for 329 yards.
Josh Wilson returned an interception 61 yards for a touchdown with 22 seconds left, the last of five picks by rookie Matthew Stafford, the top overall pick playing his second game since missing two weeks with a knee injury. That kept the Lions (1-7) from finally flying home happy.
Starting at his own 5 with no timeouts remaining and 2:03 left, Stafford completed four passes to get Detroit to midfield. Then came his final, decisive mistake.
