SEATTLE — The Seattle Seahawks rode two Marshawn Lynch touchdowns and withstood a furious comeback attempt in the third quarter to hold off the Oakland Raiders 30-24 on Sunday.

Lynch rushed for 67 yards and a pair of scores in the driving rain to give the Seahawks (5-3) consecutive victories for only the second time this season.

Lynch’s two first-half touchdowns helped the Seahawks storm out to a 24-3 halftime lead, but a blocked punt and long punt return helped the Raiders pull within a touchdown, at 24-17, in the third quarter.

Seattle kicker Steven Hauschka made 3 of 4 field goals, including two in the opening six minutes of the fourth quarter to put the Seahawks back in control.

Oakland quarterback Derek Carr completed 24 of 41 passes for 194 yards and a pair of touchdowns to tight end Mychal Rivera, but the rookie also threw two interceptions.

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was 17 of 35 for 179 yards.

The Raiders (0-8) had three first-half turnovers as they extended their worst season start since 1962. Oakland made a game of it after falling behind by 21 points at halftime, thanks in large part to special teams.

Raiders defensive lineman Denico Autry blocked a Jon Ryan punt early in the third quarter, then teammate Bruce Butler recovered it in the end zone to pull Oakland within 24-10 at the 13:52 mark of the third quarter.

Eleven minutes later, after a 27-yard punt return by TJ Carrie gave the Raiders good field position, Carr pulled Oakland within 24-17 on a 1-yard touchdown pass to Rivera.

Hauschka’s two field goals extended the Seattle lead to 30-17 before Oakland made another rally in the closing minutes. Carr led the Raiders on a long drive that resulted in another Rivera 1-yard touchdown that pulled Oakland within 30-24 with 1:52 remaining. But Seattle wide receiver Jermaine Kearse recovered the onside kick after teammate Cooper Helfet lost control of the ball, with 1:48 remaining to clinch the victory.

Rivera had a team-high eight receptions for 38 yards in the loss.

Two interceptions, including one that linebacker Bruce Irvin returned 35 yards for a score, and a pair of Lynch touchdown runs helped the Seahawks score 24 unanswered points on the way to the 21-point halftime lead.

The Raiders converted their first two third downs on a game-opening drive that resulted in a Sebastian Janikowski field goal and a 3-0 lead. Seattle responded by riding Lynch on an 80-yard drive that culminated in the bruising runner going into the end zone from 3 yards out to put the Seahawks ahead 7-3 with 4:07 remaining in the first quarter.

Turnovers on three consecutive Oakland possessions allowed Seattle to open up a 14-point lead over the following 6 1/2 minutes.

Irvin tipped a Derek Carr pass into the air, caught it and shed a would-be tackler on the way to a 35-yard interception return on the final play of the first quarter, giving the Seahawks a 14-3 lead.

Lynch’s 5-yard touchdown run in the final minute of the first half, pushed Seattle’s lead to 24-3.
