Another ho-hum three touchdowns for the non-elite Wilson, who now has 19 passing scores and zero interceptions in his last five games. That ties Daryl Turner from 1985 for the Seahawks’ record for a season. “We don’t use that word”, Carroll says. “It isn’t anything special”.

Sanchez Could Miss Four Matches, Says Wenger
Striker Olivier Giroud has been in fantastic form, scoring five goals in three games, including a hat-trick against Olympiakos. Wenger warily acknowledged his team’s title chances and said his players are growing in maturity.
Not until Pete Carroll pulled everyone together after a fifth straight victory did the Seattle Seahawks find out they were bound for the postseason. The Seahawks were still in the race – barely – for the NFC West title heading into Arizona’s Sunday night game against Philadelphia.
Abarth Might Be Turning the Fiat 500X Into an Unmuffled Rally Crossover
Both new Abarth models are likely to share a turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine with around 170 horsepower on tap. Of course, Abarth will tune the engine to offer more power than the initial figure of 138hp.
“It’s a terrific accomplishment”, Carroll said of making it to another postseason. “I think it is natural when you spend that extra effort you are going to see those results on the field and that is what we are seeing from Johnny”.
Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel would like to see some stability in the organization after the season comes to a close.
Whereas Manziel’s receivers dropped some critical passes in this game, Wilson’s excelled.
“I thought he handled it very well”, Browns coach Mike Pettine said. “He was phenomenal. I just want to give him the credit because I know you guys won’t give him credit”. It was the first touchdown drive allowed by the Seahawks defense since the fourth quarter of their win over Pittsburgh, a span of 21 possessions.
We didn’t make enough plays to win the game. “And thankfully enough, all of us are on the receiving end of it”. It’s marvelous to be finishing like this again. Pointing out that he has flaws does not make one a “hater” – it just makes one a non-extremist who understands there is more to playing quarterback than just the occasional highlight play.
Wilson threw his 100th career touchdown against the Browns, a 6-yard pass to receiver Doug Baldwin, and in the locker room after the game Baldwin gave the ball to Wilson to keep. It matched the 15-yard drive that Cleveland had to start the game, punctuated by the latest touchdown catch by a tight end against the Seahawks: Gary Barnidge, 7 yards from Manziel.
With time running out in the first half, Seattle’s Steven Hauschka nailed a 49 yard field goal to go up by 7 with less than a minute to play. Wilson was 7 of 8 for 71 yards and a touchdown on third down, and the Seahawks converted seven of those third downs.
Last season, Baldwin saw his highest volume of targets in his four-year career to that point, and he produced accordingly, hauling in a career-high 66 receptions for a career-high 825 yards. And then five touchdowns in two games is a continuation of that anomaly.
“He’s playing great”, receiver Jermaine Kearse said. He ended the day with 16 carries for 84 yards, and it looks like he will be the starter until Marshawn Lynch returns. Trailing by 17 in the fourth quarter, the Browns again settled for three after a blown protection on a blitz led to a third-down sack.
Cleveland also could not run the ball, as Duke Johnson was the leading rusher with 46 yards.
The Seahawks amassed 423 yards to Cleveland’s 230 and averaged 6.2 yards per play to the Browns’ 4.2.
NOTES: Seahawks S Kam Chancellor (pelvis) was inactive for the game. Cleveland RG John Greco hurt his knee on the opening series and left the game. With another high pick coming in the draft, the franchise can still decide to select another quarterback if they don’t think Manziel is the long-term solution.

Marcus Burley had a late interception to seal it, and Brandon Mebane had one of his better games in what has been a solid season.
