Seahawks 38, Giants 17: Marshawn Lynch rushed for 140 yards and a career-best four touchdowns as host Seattle erupted for 21 final-quarter points and handed New York its fourth straight defeat.
Russell Wilson threw two interceptions but was effective running the ball with 107 yards and one score as the Seahawks (6-3) won their third consecutive contest. Seattle rolled up a team-record 350 rushing yards, which is also the most in an NFL game this season.
