BALTIMORE -- Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson threw five touchdown passes, leading the Seahawks to a 35-6 victory over the struggling Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.

Seattle (8-5) has won six of their past seven games and looks like a legitimate Super Bowl contender once again. It was the first game this season not decided by eight points or fewer for the Ravens (4-9).

Wilson completed 23 of 32 passes for 292 yards. Wide receiver Doug Baldwin had three touchdown receptions. He now has eight in the past three games. Fellow wide receiver Tyler Lockett caught 6 passes for 104 yards with two scores.

The Seahawks marched down the field on the opening drive of the second half to put the game away. Wilson found Baldwin wide open in the middle of the field for a 22-yard touchdown that increased the lead to 21-6.

Another 49-yard pass from Wilson to Lockett to open the fourth quarter boosted the margin to 22 points. The Ravens patchwork offense simply could not keep up.

Wilson hit Baldwin again for a 16-yard touchdown after an interception by Richard Sherman that provided a 35-6 lead and sent the Baltimore fans headed to exits with nine minutes left.

Ravens quarterback Jimmy Clausen got the start for the injured Matt Schaub. Clausen was 23 of 40 for 274 yards with the interception. The Ravens managed just 28 yards on the ground.

Seahawks running back Thomas Rawls, who was named the NFL's Rookie of the Week, left the game in the first quarter with a broken ankle and is out for season, according to Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll.

Seattle took a 7-0 lead on its opening drive when Wilson hit Lockett in the middle of the end zone for an 8-yard score. That was an 11-play, 80-yards drive where the Seahawks had only one third down.

Ravens running back Javorius "Buck" Allen fumbled on the Baltimore 14 with under a minute left in the half. Two plays later, Wilson found Baldwin in the corner of the end zone and the Seahawks led 14-3.

Clausen responded on the ensuing drive with two long passes to wide receiver Kamar Aiken that set up 30-field goal by kicker Justin Tucker as time expired.
