Contract dispute proving costly for Seahawks and Chancellor

(Reuters) - After giving up 34 points to St Louis in the season opener, Seattle's much-vaunted defense was torched for 27 by Green Bay on Sunday as the Seahawks continue to struggle without Pro Bowl safety Kam Chancellor.

Chancellor, one of the hardest hitters in the NFL, is in the midst of a contract dispute with the Seahawks and has refused to report to the team, who fell to 0-2 after Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Packers at Lambeau Field.

The Seahawks, Super Bowl champions in the 2013 season and runners-up last season, are bottom of the NFC West.
