Seattle Seahawks retain 100% home record

Seahawks retain 100% home record

Russell Wilson's 230-yard effort on offense has helped the Seattle Seahawks earn their 13th straight victory at CenturyLink Field, running out comfortable 41-20 winners over the Minnesota Vikings.

The visitors travelled to Washington without an away win this season but were competitive early on, with Christian Ponder finding Jarius Wright with a lofted 38-yard touchdown pass to level the match at 10-10 in the second quarter.

Seattle soon responded, though, as Marshawn Lynch drove over for his second touchdown of the night, before Wilson found Doug Baldwin for Seattle's third score in the final action of the first half.

Minnesota kept fighting in a tight third quarter but were overrun late on as the match started to slip away, as Lynch completed his hat-trick to open up a 31-13 advantage.

Walter Thurmond made his presence felt on a 29-yard interception return in the next passage of play, as Seattle continued their march towards the playoffs with a fifth home success of the season.
