"Just finish.

After losing a fourth-quarter lead to Washington just four days earlier, the Seattle Seahawks focused on grinding out a win at home against Philadelphia.

And through clenched teeth, Seattle closed out an impressive 31-14 victory at CenturyLink Field against a wounded and beaten-down Eagles squad on Thursday night.

"To finish the game like that was big time," Seattle center Max Unger said. "We want the ball in our hands at the end of the game. We didn't get it done last week, but we did a little better job this time."

Once again, running back Marshawn Lynch was the catalyst, finishing with a season-high 148 rushing yards on 22 carries and two touchdowns.

It's the fourth time in five games that Lynch has eclipsed the 100-yard mark.

The author of one of the most impressive runs in playoff history last season in the NFC wild-card game against New Orleans, Lynch was at it again against Philadelphia.

On Seattle's second drive, set up by safety Kam Chancellor's interception, Lynch somehow escaped a large pile of would-be Eagles tacklers at the line of scrimmage, and rumbled for a 15-yard touchdown run and a 7-0 lead.

He followed that with a beautifully blocked 40-yard touchdown run in the second quarter, and the rout was on."
