The New York Giants gave Seattle a tough fight for three quarters, but the Seahawks pulled away late with 21 points in the final quarter.
Marshawn Lynch scored four touchdowns and helped the Seahawks hold off the Giants on a day where quarterback Russell Wilson struggled through the air - going 10/17 with 172 yards and two turnovers.
Despite holding an early lead, the Giants lost steam after half time, as they were outscored 24-0 in the second half. They had no answer for Lynch, which didn't help the cause.
Turning Point: Early in the fourth, Marshawn Lynch gave the Seahawks their first lead since 10:23 in the first quarter with his third touchdown of the game.
That put Seattle up by a touchdown, a lead they extended on the next drive with yet another Lynch touchdown. That score slammed the door on the Giants chances.
Key Stat: Marshawn Lynch nearly matched his season's total in touchdowns (five) with his four scores in this one. Lynch now has nine rushing touchdowns on the year, with six of those coming over the last two games.
Giants MVP: Odell Beckham - seven receptions, 108 yards
After the loss of Victor Cruz, Beckham has stepped up and played well for a rookie who was forced into the starting lineup. He now has back-to-back 100 yard games and looks like a legit threat across from Reuben Randle.
Seahawks MVP: Marshawn Lynch - 21 carries, 140 yards, four touchdowns
