Thunder, lightning and Lynch: Seahawks rely on
Marshawn Lynch in 29-3 blowout of 49ers
• SEATTLE (AP) -- Richard Sherman celebrated by dancing with cheerleaders, Marshawn Lynch cut, plowed and strolled his way to three touchdowns, and Pete Carroll got one rousing birthday gift.
• The awaited NFC West showdown between the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers was a one-sided rout.
• Lynch scored on touchdown runs of 14 and two yards, and added a seven-yard TD reception in the second half, Seattle flustered Colin Kaepernick into his worst passing game as a starter, and the Seahawks dominated in a 29-3 win Sunday night.
• "Every game we feel like we should dominate, and we did," Seattle safety Earl Thomas said.
• The game was delayed 60 minutes late in the first quarter when thunderstorms blew through the area. The highly anticipated matchup was sloppy as opposed to sensational, but Lynch more than did his part.
