The Seattle Seahawks have snapped out of their midseason malaise and will go for their fourth consecutive victory when they visit the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.

The Seattle Seahawks were considered a Super Bowl sleeper as they came into Baltimore on a hot streak.
As a result, Kelechi Osemele got first start at left tackle against the Seahawks.
Wilson went 23 for 32 for 292 yards.
Wilson had a fourth straight game with at least three touchdown passes, giving him a total of 16 with no interceptions during that span. In no way shape or form should any fan base be hoping and praying Schaub to play as the preferred option, and we just think Clausen getting a second chance against the Seahawks – playing their best ball of the season now – is just cruel and unusual punishment for all involved.
CHICAGO (-3) over Washington – The Bears may have played themselves out of the playoff chase with last week’s loss to San Fran, but they’ll still get past a Washington team that is 0-5 on the road, four of those losses by double digits. “We’re going to miss him, but I thought everybody collectively played a great game”.
DuJuan Harris got most of the workload with Rawls out and finished with 42 yards on 18 carries. With Marshawn Lynch (abdominal surgery) having no timetable in his rehab, the Seahawks may find themselves in a bind at running back as Seattle’s running game evaporated one Rawls departed.
“The idea is for us to have our best five guys out there”, Ravens coach John Harbaugh said.
Seattle’s second-ranked defense backed Wilson by keeping the Ravens out of the end zone, forcing two turnovers and allowing only 28 yards rushing.
With their win this week, the Seahawks improved to 8-5. Clausen managed just 48 net yards passing and played basically like a high-school QB who’d been converted from another position for the game.
“He’s always been consistent since Week 1 in his language, how he talks and how he believes in us”, Okung said of Wilson.
Wearing sweatpants and baseball caps, the injured Baltimore Ravens took up a sizable chunk of the home sideline during warmups, a ideal snapshot of what could have been in this 2015 season.
The Ravens have been in hard-fought contests the entire season as every game has been decided by eight points or less.
“They give me too much credit”, Lewis said. He did a nice job getting us in and out of plays…. Russell Wilson can be a very good quarterback, but that offense has been run-first, pass-second the whole time he’s been in town.
Late in the half, Seattle linebacker Bobby Wagner recovered a fumble by Javorius Allen at the Baltimore 14. Wilson’s favorite targets, wide receivers Doug Baldwin and Tyler Lockett, have a propensity to get open even in tight coverage.

Clausen responded on the ensuing drive with two long passes to wide receiver Kamar Aiken that set up 30-field goal by kicker Justin Tucker as time expired.
