Detroit (AFP) - Head coach Jim Caldwell says his winless Detroit Lions can't afford to dwell on the controversial non-call that cost them a last-gasp chance of victory in Seattle on Monday night.

At a Tuesday press conference back home in Detroit, Caldwell was peppered with questions about the play -- on which Seattle's K.J Wright illegally batted a ball fumbled by Detroit's Calvin Johnson out of the end zone but wasn't whistled for a foul.
