He threw five more touchdown passes today and has now engineered the most prolific 4-game offensive stretch in Seattle Seahawks team history.
Seattle poured further misery on the Ravens when Wilson and Baldwin connected for the third time in the match as the wideout beat his man to leave himself wide open in the endzone to collect the quarterback’s 16-yard pass.

Seattle is now 14-2 in December since Wilson has taken over as the team’s starting quarterback. He finished the day with 44 yards on six carries. The turnover deprived Minnesota the opportunity to take the game to overtime and allowed the Cardinals to clinch a Playoff berth that night.
“Most games – except the ones we have in California or Arizona – we usually leave on Friday”, he said.
With the win, the Seahawks move to 8-5 and will face the Browns at home next week.
Clausen already started against the Seahawks this season when he was with the Chicago Bears. Matt Schaub got pretty banged up in Sunday’s game, but the Ravens do believe he will be able to play this Sunday.
The Seattle Seahawks survived their first running back injury, as rookie Thomas Rawls became one of the league’s most productive running backs in the absence of Marshawn Lynch.
The loss to Seattle was much different from any others this season.
The defense has played better as of late, but as noted earlier in the week, the opposition was nowhere near the level as the Seahawks.
“If you give up big plays, you turn the ball over against a team like that, you just have no chance”, Harbaugh said.
Seattle Seahawks running back DuJuan Harris (32) is tackled by Baltimore Ravens inside linebacker C.J. Mosley (57), Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith (22) and Ravens free safety Kendrick Lewis (23) during the first half an NFL football game, Sunday, Dec. 13, 2015, in Baltimore.
“Jimmy is smart”, Ravens coach John Harbaugh said.
Incredibly, Schaub enters Sunday having interceptions returned for scores in each of his last three starts, including last weekend in a 15-13 loss at Miami; he’s been subbing for Joe Flacco, the Super Bowl champion who is out for the season following knee surgery.
Meanwhile, the Ravens are third in the AFC North and have a poor record of just 4-8. That is concerning. If he’s still out for the rest of the season and into the playoffs, the Seahawks may decline again just as quickly as they’ve risen in recent weeks.
Kam Chancellor sustained “a bruised back side” in the second quarter on Sunday and did not return.
