The Seahawks pulled away in the fourth quarter with a touchdown run by running back Marshawn Lynch and an interception return touchdown by linebacker Bruce Irvin.

Rams quarterback Shaun Hill was held to 243 yards and two interceptions on 26-of-37 passing, and running back Tre Mason was only able to rush for 28 yards on 11 carries.
Cunningham led the Rams in receiving with eight catches for 57 yards despite his costly fumble.
