Seahawks 24, Eagles 14: Russell Wilson passed for 263 yards and two touchdowns while also running for a score as visiting Seattle cruised past Philadelphia.

Doug Baldwin and Marshawn Lynch caught scoring passes as the Seahawks (9-4) won their third straight and remained one game behind first-place Arizona in the NFC West. Lynch rushed for 86 yards and Seattle possessed the ball for 41 minutes, 56 seconds while outgaining the Eagles 440-139 and holding a 28-9 advantage in first downs.

Mark Sanchez threw two touchdown passes but was intercepted once and was 10-of-20 for only 96 yards for Philadelphia (9-4). LeSean McCoy was limited to 50 yards on 17 carries and the Eagles ran just 45 plays compared to Seattle’s 85.

Philadelphia pulled within 17-14 when Sanchez connected with Zach Ertz on a 35-yard scoring pass with 12:09 left in the third quarter before Wilson answered with a 23-yard TD toss to Baldwin just over three minutes later. Lynch lost a fumble with nine minutes remaining, but Sanchez was intercepted by Tharold Simon on the ensuing play.

The Eagles struck first on Sanchez’s 1-yard scoring pass to Jeremy Maclin late in the first quarter before Wilson scored on a 26-yard run in the opening minute of the second quarter to tie it. Steven Hauschka booted a 44-yard field goal with two seconds left to provide the Seahawks with a 10-7 halftime lead, and Wilson teamed with Lynch on a 15-yard touchdown just 57 seconds into the third quarter.
