The Seattle Seahawks ran out 27-17 winners over the Washington Redskins at FedEx Field in the NFL on Monday evening.

Jermaine Kearse scored a touchdown for the visitors after just two minutes and Russell Wilson went over the line for the Seahawks' second of the match with 10 minutes of the second quarter played.

DeSean Jackson responded for the Redskins before Kai Forbath scored the only points in the third with his field goal for the home side.
