Richard Sherman came up big once again against the San Francisco 49ers, with his two interceptions highlighting Seattle's strong defensive effort for a 19-3 victory in a highly-anticipated NFC West Thanksgiving clash.

The outspoken cornerback, whose key defensive stop against San Francisco receiver Michael Crabtree in January's NFC Championship Game helped vault the Seahawks into the Super Bowl, picked off Colin Kaepernick twice as Seattle (8-4) limited the 49ers offense to just 164 total yards.

Russell Wilson completed 15-of-22 passes for 236 yards and a touchdown pass to Robert Turbin, Marshawn Lynch ran for 104 yards on 20 carries and Steven Hauschka kicked five field goals for the Seahawks, who have won five of their last six games.

Kaepernick threw for 121 yards on 16-of-29 passing as the 49ers (7-5) had their three-game win streak come to an end.
