Seahawks dominate 49ers behind strong D

SEATTLE -- Marshawn Lynch ran for 88 yards and a score and added a seven-yard touchdown catch, and the Seattle Seahawks won 29-3 over the San Francisco 49ers in Sunday night's game between the division rivals.

The game got off to a wild start with dueling interceptions, an hour-long lightning delay and a safety before the first half. By the end of the third, Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson completed seven of 16 passes for 135 yards and a score, while San Francisco counterpart Colin Kaepernick was 8-of-17 for 82 yards.

Phil Dawson kicked a 21-yard field goal for San Francisco to make it 12-3 with 4:20 left in the quarter.

Lynch rushed for 111 yards with two touchdowns and Wilson threw four touchdown passes in the Seahawks' 42-13 rout of the 49ers in Seattle in the last meeting late last December. It was the worst loss of Jim Harbaugh's first two seasons as coach.

The lopsided game only added to the simmering rivalry between the two teams.

This season, Kaepernick and Wilson apparently made a wager that the loser must shave an eyebrow, a bet tied to a video game promotion.

Last season, some of the Seahawks took offense when Harbaugh allegedly honked at Seattle's team bus after the 49ers' victory last October at Candlestick Park. Harbaugh has denied it.
