Seattle, WA (SportsNetwork.com) - What a difference two and a half weeks make. The Seattle Seahawks rode their defense to beat the San Francisco 49ers again as the bitter rivals continue heading in opposite directions. Marshawn Lynch ran for 91 yards and a touchdown and the Seahawks stifled the 49ers in the second half, eliminating them from playoff contention with a 17-7 victory on Sunday. Seattle (10-4) allowed 178 yards to San Francisco (7-7) in the first half, but clamped down and limited the 49ers to a meager 67 over the final 30 minutes. The Seahawks outscored the 49ers 14-0 in the second half. Seattle outgained San Francisco 379-164 during its 19-3 victory in Santa Clara on Thanksgiving Nov. 27, then racked up 440 yards while limiting the potent offensive attack of first-place Philadelphia to 139 during a 24-14 win last Sunday. The red-hot Seahawks clash with Arizona in Glendale next Sunday night with first place in the NFC West on the line. The Seahawks have won four in a row and seven of their last eight, while San Francisco has dropped three consecutive games, including a 24-13 defeat to woeful Oakland last Sunday. Russell Wilson was 12-of-24 for 168 yards with a touchdown and an interception, while Jermaine Kearse caught five passes for 78 yards for Seattle, which has beaten San Francisco four straight times at home and recorded its first season sweep in the series since 2007. Colin Kaepernick completed 11-of-19 passes for 141 yards for the 49ers, who lost running backs Frank Gore (concussion) and Carlos Hyde (ankle) along with linebacker Chris Borland (ankle) to injury. Sunday was the seventh time in their last eight contests that the 49ers failed to score more than 17 points. The 49ers held a 7-3 advantage when the Seahawks took over at their own 40 midway through the third quarter. Lynch picked up 15 yards on a left end run and Wilson hit Paul Richardson for an 11-yard completion to move the chains on a 3rd-and-10 and move the ball to the San Francisco 13-yard line. Lynchs 4-yard TD plunge three plays later capped the 10-play, 60-yard march and staked Seattle to a 10-7 lead late in the third. The Seahawks defense then forced a three-and-out and found the end zone again, although they were aided by a controversial roughing the passer penalty. Bryan Walters returned Andy Lees 53-yard punt 19 yards to the San Francisco 44. Wilson took a zone-read keeper 19 yards to the 49ers 20, with the penalty coming three snaps later on a 3rd-and-5. Wilson tossed an incomplete pass to Richardson, but Nick Moody hit Wilsons chest with his helmet and was flagged. Wilson then flipped a quick slant to Richardson two plays later for a 10-yard score. The 49ers then took the ensuing 7:50 off the clock, but Bruce Miller was stuffed on a 4th-and-1 at the Seattle 38 and they never threatened offensively again. Seattle opened the scoring late in the first quarter on its second possession. Wilson flipped a 10-yard completion to Doug Baldwin on a 3rd-and-6 to move the ball to the San Francisco 44. The second of two Eric Reid unnecessary roughness penalties put the Seahawks in field goal range and Steven Hauschka split the uprights from 38 yards out. San Francisco answered with a touchdown on its ensuing series. Kaepernick rolled right and floated a 31-yard completion to Garrett Celek down the right sideline. Anquan Boldin hauled in a low throw from Kaepernick on a 3rd-and-11 for a gain of 15 to get the 49ers to the Seattle 40. Gore was stuffed for no gain on a 3rd-and-1 from the Seattle 10 and 49ers coach John Harbaugh elected to go for it on fourth down. Gore then scampered off left tackle for a 10-yard score to cap the 11-play, 85-yard trek and give San Francisco a 7-3 cushion early in the second. Wilson lofted a perfectly thrown ball to a well-covered Kearse down the right sideline and Kearse was able to corral it for a gain of 47. Seattle was able to get down to the San Francisco 30, but a Justin Britt holding call took it out of field goal range on first down. Dan Skuta sacked Wilson on 3rd-and-17 for a 2-yard loss to put the ball at the 39 and the Seahawks elected to punt. Seattle drove to the San Francisco 29 on its final touch of the second, but Reid intercepted Wilson on the final play of the half and returned it 73 yards to the Seahawks 24 before time ran out.

Marwin Hitz Jersey .Y. -- It was as if Matt Moulson never left the New York Islanders.Jonathan Bernier is expected to make his return to the Toronto net tonight as the Maple Leafs pull into Boston for a New Years Eve game against the Bruins. Bernier has been ill and has not played since shutting out the Dallas Stars on Dec. 23. The Leafs also activated Leo Komarov from injured reserve on Wednesday, which is a good sign he will return to action. He has been out since Nov. 29 with a concussion. The return of Bernier and Komarov comes as good news for the struggling Leafs. The team lost 3-2 on Monday in Tampa Bay and has dropped five of six and allowed 24 goals along the way. James Reimer gave up three goals on 41 shots against the Lightning, about the norm lately with the Leafs allowing 39.0 shots per game in the last seven. My job is to stop them, whether theres 10 shots a night or 100 shots a night, said Reimer, who has dropped four straight in Boston with a 3.65 GAA. Bernier has a 2-3-0 record and 3.83 GAA in six career starts against Boston, including a split this year. Hes been busy with an average of 38.4 shots faced in his last seven starts, going 5-2-0 with a 2.35 GAA and .941 save percentage. The Bruins (19-15-3) proved themselves capable of the kind of hockey it might take to engineer a climb in the standings in Tuesdays 5-2 win over Detroit, beginning a three-game stay in Boston with a third straight home win. We need to make a decision here how we want to play this year and whether we want to make the playoffs, coach Claude Julien told the teams official website. Thats what I wanted to see from our team. Its the kind of game that we need from here on in, night in, night out. Theyve won three of four overall and gone 3 for 9 on the power play after a 1-for-29 stretch over the preevious 15 games.dddddddddddd Seth Griffith scored on their only man advantage against the Red Wings, while linemates Chris Kelly, Loui Eriksson and Carl Soderberg totaled seven points. Soderberg had a goal and two assists, giving him seven points in the past six games. Eriksson has eight points in that span after getting two assists Tuesday. Kelly had a goal and an assist, compiling eight points in the last seven games after having only eight through his first 28. Boston was without leading scorer Patrice Bergeron and winger Milan Lucic, both out with undisclosed injuries lingering from Saturday nights 6-2 loss at Columbus. Both practiced Tuesday after day-to-day designations. Bergeron has 15 points in nine games against Toronto. Injuries or not, the Bruins know emulating what they showed against Detroit is the next step. Weve done this before in the season and we followed up with a bad game so we have to realize that, center David Krejci said. Tuukka Rask could also use a sustained stretch of success. The Boston goaltender made 28 saves against Detroit and has won three straight starts, but December has been a trying month with a 4-4-2 record and 3.00 goals-against average. His career against Toronto has been much better at 10-3-0 with a 1.85 GAA, though he allowed four goals in under 24 minutes in the last meeting. The Maple Leafs won that game 6-1 on Nov. 12 behind two goals from Phil Kessel, who has seven points in his last four games in the series. The teams have split six games dating to the beginning of last season and split two in Toronto this season. The Bruins have won six of the last seven meetings in Boston, and they seem to be catching the Maple Leafs (20-14-3) at a good time. ' ' ' to be at full speed all the time. Hes still put himself in a position for back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons in the SEC, which is not an easy task. ' ' '
