Seahawks 27, Redskins 17: Russell Wilson threw a pair of touchdown passes and rushed for a career-high 122 yards and a score as visiting Seattle beat Washington for the first time in 16 years.

Wilson finished 18-of-24 for 201 yards and connected on scoring passes to Jermaine Kearse and Marshawn Lynch to lift the Seahawks (3-1) to their ninth consecutive victory on Monday Night Football. Lynch accounted for 117 yards from scrimmage and Seattle overcame 13 penalties - three of which negated touchdowns by Percy Harvin.

Kirk Cousins threw for 283 yards and two TDs on 21-of-36 for the Redskins (1-4), who lost their third in a row and fell to Seattle for the first time since September 1998. DeSean Jackson hauled in five catches for 157 yards, including a 60-yard touchdown reception.

Although Seattle completely dominated the first 30 minutes, the Redskins went to the locker room trailing 17-7 after Cousins found Jackson in stride on the 60-yard scoring strike down the right sideline with 2 1/2 minutes left in the half. Wilson tossed a 15-yard scoring pass to Kearse and ran for a 9-yard score for an early 17-0 advantage that could have been larger had penalties not wiped out TDs by Harvin on back-to-back plays.

Cousins found Jackson for 57 yards to set up Kai Forbath's 27-yard field goal on the opening possession of the third quarter, but the Redskins started their next three drives inside their own 10 as they continuously were pinned down by Seattle punter Jon Ryan. A fake field goal executed by Ryan led to Wilson's 9-yard scoring pass to Lynch with 6:31 to play for a 24-10 lead before Cousins found Andre Roberts for a 6-yard TD pass with 3:35 remaining.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Wilson, who eclipsed his franchise single-game rushing record of 102 yards set exactly one year ago against Indianapolis, joined Michael Vick and Donovan McNabb as the only quarterbacks with two games of 200 yards passing and 100 rushing. ... Redskins LB Ryan Kerrigan registered his sixth sack of the season, the first Washington player to notch that many in the first five games of a season since Marco Coleman in 2002. ... Harvin had a 16-yard TD run and 19-yard scoring reception erased by penalties on consecutive plays early in the second quarter and a third touchdown taken away when a penalty negated a 41-yard pass from Wilson with 12:45 to play.
