Miracle at the C-Link 2.0 - How the Seahawks won tonight

WOW! That was a SUPER bizarre Seahawks win. The Seahawks are leading the whole game. But then, the Lions had the ball with a 3rd and 1 at the Seahawks' 1 yard line with 1:51 left in the game and a field goal would tie and a touchdown would win. Matthew Stafford ran the ball. He was 1 FOOT away from the end zone when THIS happened...
3rd and 1 at SEA 1:
(1:51) (Shotgun) M.Stafford pass short left to C.Johnson to SEA 1 for 10 yards (K.Chancellor, E.Thomas). FUMBLES (K.Chancellor), ball out of bounds in End Zone, Touchback.
Of course, the Seahawks got the ball back. But they needed to gain at least 1 first down because the Lions still had timeouts.
But then, THIS happened...
Timeout #3 by DET at 01:34.
But still, the Seahawks had a 3rd and 2 at their own 28 yard line with 1:34 remaining. The Lions' defense was trying to prevent a run. A pass could result in a interception (Lions get the ball) and be run back for a Lions' game winning touchdown. But then, another major play happened...
3rd and 2 at SEA 28:
(1:34) R.Wilson pass deep right to J.Kearse pushed ob at DET 22 for 50 yards (R.Mathis).
After this, the Lions had used all their timeouts with very little time,
so the following plays happened...
1st and 10 at DET 22:
(1:23) R.Wilson kneels to DET 23 for -1 yards.
2nd and 11 at DET 23:
(:41) R.Wilson kneels to DET 25 for -2 yards.
Then the players left the field. The Seattle Seahawks won!
