Former Seattle Seahawks owner Ken Behring died on Tuesday at the age of 91.

“We are saddened by the loss of former Seahawks owner Ken Behring Mychal Kendricks Jersey ,” the Seahawks said in a statement. “We send our heartfelt condolences to Mr. Behring’s family and friends.”Behring bought the Seahawks from department store magnate John Nordstrom for $80 million in 1988 and sold the team to Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen for $200 million in 1997. Behring’s tenure as owner may be best remembered for an ill-fated attempt to move the Seahawks to Los Angeles shortly after the Raiders and Rams moved out in 1995.Born in 1928, Behring grew up in a poor family in Wisconsin and briefly played college football for the Badgers but dropped out of college after an injury and became a car salesman. He soon had his own used car business, and when he was 28 he started up a construction company. By his 30s he was a major real estate developer.Behring was also a major donor to the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History, although his donations were sometimes criticized as having too many strings attached, and the museum was criticized for accepting his donations of threatened animals that he had personally hunted. One of the animals he killed on an overseas hunting trip was a sheep considered among the most endangered species in the world.Behring was the founder of the Wheelchair Foundation, which seeks to provide a wheelchair to everyone in the world who needs one but cannot afford one. The Detroit Lions wrapped up a turbulent week with an important victory — thanks to another sharp performance by Matthew Stafford.Stafford threw an ill-advised pass early on that was intercepted, but he played well the rest of the way, throwing for 342 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 31-26 victory over the New York Giants. Stafford has bounced back pretty well from a disappointing 2018. In fact, his passer rating of 105.3 would be the highest of his career if the season ended now.Stafford has 16 touchdown passes and only four interceptions."He is just a competitive, competitive guy. He always wants to be the best Steve Largent Color Rush Jersey , and he's great," coach Matt Patricia said. "He works really hard, he's competitive, he's tough, he's grinding it out every single day."The Lions had lost three games in a row, and last Tuesday, they announced that second-year running back Kerryon Johnson was going on injured reserve with a knee injury. That same day, Detroit traded defensive back Quandre Diggs to Seattle.The Lions fell out of contention last year after trading receiver Golden Tate, and they certainly seemed to be heading in the wrong direction again going into the game against the Giants. But New York was a vulnerable opponent, and the Lions were playing at home. Detroit handed the Giants their fourth straight loss."I think the team has been working really hard. I think we had a rough couple of weeks Patrick Kerney Color Rush Jersey , and I think the guys have been fighting," Patricia said. "I think they've been battling. I think we've been in a couple of close games where we had a chance to win, and that stuff is hard. These guys put a lot into this stuff, and when it doesn't go the way you wanted it to, it can weigh you down."Lions fans were incensed earlier this season when some questionable calls hurt Detroit late in a loss at Green Bay. It should be noted, then, that the Lions were the beneficiaries of some important decisions Sunday. A running-into-the-punter call in the second quarter kept a drive alive, and Detroit ended up with a field goal. In the fourth quarter, a flag was thrown on a fourth-down incomplete pass by the Giants. But officials decided there was no foul for pass interference, and the ball went over to the Lions.WHAT'S WORKINGA week after Marvin Jones caught four touchdown passes Germain Ifedi Color Rush Jersey , the Lions showed how many receiving threats they have. Kenny Golladay had six receptions for 123 yards and two touchdowns, and Danny Amendola caught eight passes for 95 yards."I'm just trying to get the ball to the guy that is open, to where the coverage tells me to throw it. I'm just trying to read every play appropriately and trust in our guys that they're going to win," Stafford said. "They are winning a bunch right now and making great plays for me, so that's just what I'm trying to do. I don't go into a game and go, 'Man, I'm going to feed this guy or feed that guy.'"WHAT NEEDS HELPDetroit rushed for only 59 yards on 25 carries, so Johnson's absence was felt.STOCK UPDefensive lineman Trey Flowers, a big acquisition in the offseason, has been fairly quiet since joining the Lions Marshawn Lynch Color Rush Jersey , but he had two sacks against New York and forced a fumble.STOCK DOWNWhen the Lions traded Diggs, that suggested that they were pretty happy with their other options in the secondary, but the defensive backfield did not have a particularly good game Sunday. Darius Slay was out with an injury, and cornerbacks Justin Coleman, Rashaan Melvin and Mike Ford had problems against New York's passing game. Rookie quarterback Daniel Jones threw for 322 yards and four touchdowns for the Giants.INJUREDAdding to the secondary's issues was the fact that defensive back Tracy Walker injured his knee Sunday. Patricia said Monday that Walker is day to day.KEY NUMBER40.2 — Receiver Marvin Hall's average yards per catch. He has 201 yards on only five receptions this season, and he added another big play against the Giants when he caught a 49-yard touchdown pass from Stafford.NEXT STEPSThe Lions play their next two games on the road, starting this weekend against the Oakland Raiders.Follow Noah Trister at https://twitter.com/noahtrister
