EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Everyone knows how cozy the Seahawks are in Seattle. They found another place that feels like home, and its a pretty good choice considering what the Meadowlands will host in February. Seattle manhandled the New York Giants 23-0 Sunday for its sixth road win, holding the hosts to 181 yards. This is the best Seahawks road team in their history at 6-2; they are 6-0 at home. Should they return to New Jersey this season, it would be for the Super Bowl. "I do think thats advantageous to us," star cornerback Richard Sherman said after grabbing two of a career-worst five interceptions thrown by Eli Manning. "Anytime you are comfortable with a stadium and seen a locker room and the time zone change and the weather, it helps. You get in a routine, get a rapport with the place youre at." The Seahawks have quite a chance to be at MetLife Stadium again if they continue to perform the way they did against the overmatched Giants (5-9). "Just being human, you know about it," coach Pete Carroll said of the first outdoor Super Bowl in a cold weather city. "Its not important now. When the time comes, if we put ourselves in position to do that ..." Marshawn Lynch scored on a twisting, triple-effort 2-yard run, Steven Hauschka kicked three field goals and Russell Wilson toyed with New Yorks defence. The second-year quarterback ran for 50 yards, threw for 206 and a touchdown before sitting out the last few minutes. Wilson has 23 wins, the most for a quarterback in his first two seasons in the Super Bowl era. "It does matter," Wilson said of the 23 victories. "Winning a lot of games is really important. Its what we come to do every day, to have a championship day, have a championship year." The Seahawks (12-2) are already in the playoffs and are closing in on the NFC West title and their best overall record; they went 13-3 in 2005 before losing to Pittsburgh in the Super Bowl. New York (5-9) will be deep into its off-season by the Super Bowl with its first losing record since 2004. "It probably pretty much shows why were in this situation where we have only five wins and they are the top of the NFC and playing great football," said Manning, who has tied his career high with 25 interceptions. It was Seattles first shutout since a 58-0 romp over Arizona on Dec. 9 last year. The Giants lost 38-0 to Carolina in Week 3. "Were not taking anything away from their defence," coach Tom Coughlin said. "Theyre No. 1 in the league for a reason, they are a good defensive team. "Theres no excuse for what went on out there. We kept turning the ball over, and put our defence back out there over and over and over again." Cornerback Byron Maxwell, who has stepped in so capably for Brandon Browner (groin injury), also got two picks. Earl Thomas had the other. The Giants lost top receiver Victor Cruz to a concussion in the fourth quarter. Cruz is 2 yards short of his third straight 1,000-yard season. Hauschka, who is clutch from long distance (14 for 15 from beyond 40 yards), made 49- and 44-yarders, plus a 24-yard field goal. Seattles top-ranked defence had New York off-kilter so badly that three of Mannings interceptions were into tight coverage. Maxwell and Sherman had clearer shots at the ball than Mannings intended receivers. "We wanted to make sure we affected the game," Sherman said. One interception came on a desperation pass to end the half and Thomas pick in the final period was off a deflection. Shermans first pick led to Lynchs brilliant short run for a 10-0 lead. Lynch seemed to be going down several times, but went into full Beast Mode to power into the end zone. Lynch actually was most effective as a receiver with six catches for 73 yards. He rushed for 47. Hauschkas 44-yarder made it 13-0 at halftime, then Sherman got his sixth interception of the season. Maxwells second pick led to Wilsons 12-yard TD pass to Doug Baldwin, the 17th touchdown New York has yielded off a turnover. NOTES: Wilson has 50 touchdown passes in his short pro career. ... Carroll, who was Jets head coach in 1994, suggested with a laugh that people forget the last game he was on the home side in the Meadowlands. ... The Giants were shut out in the first half for the second successive week. They gained only 54 yards in the opening two periods and didnt get into Seattle territory until halfway through the fourth quarter. ...

Wagner and Tommy Gainey each shot an 8-under 62 on Thursday to share a two-stroke lead after the first round of the Greenbrier Classic. Webb Simpson and Jin Park were close behind after 64s. Daniel Summerhays, Tag Ridings, Steven Bowditch and 50-year-old Neal Lancaster were another shot back. Players were able to lift, clean and place their balls Thursday after rain fell prior to the start of play. Gainey and Wagner had bogey-free rounds in the morning. Wagner was 8 under after 12 holes but finished with six straight pars. Both could use a good week -- Gainey is 125th in season tour winnings, while Wagner ranks 148th. Wagner doesnt have a top-10 finish this year and the three-time tour champion hasnt won since the 2012 Sony Open. In his last seven tournaments, hes missed six cuts and withdrew from the Memorial. "The last couple of months have been really hard," Wagner said. "I just havent been much fun to be around. Its just been tough. Nobody likes to be bad at what they do, especially golfers." A product of Virginia Tech -- which is less than two hours from the Old White TPC course -- Wagner chipped in for eagle on the par-5 12th, then finished with six straight pars. "Ive been disappointed with 76s and 79s the last month, so Im very happy to be disappointed with a 62 today," said Wagner, who shaved his well-talked-about moustache in a nod to his wife for their seventh wedding anniversary on Monday. "I didnt get her a gift. So I thought maybe surprising her with a clean lip would suffice," he said. The moustache will return at some point. "I love irritating my wife too much to let it go for too long," he said. Gaineys first PGA Tour victory came last fall at the McGladrey Classic, but like Wagner he has missed more cuts than hes made this year. Nicknamed "Two Gloves" for wearing gloves on both hands, Gainey had a serious talk with his wife, two other family members and his agent in the past month to try to figure out how to turn around his bad fortunes. Gainey said he had stopped having fun on the course.dddddddddddd "I had gotten away from that and Im trying to get back into that now," he said. "I felt like I knew what was going on. I was putting too much pressure on myself." Not Thursday, when he missed just one fairway with a new driver in his bag. "Hitting out of the rough is no fun," Gainey said. "Trust me, Ive been doing it for the past three years." Wagner admitted he had thoughts of shooting 59. Gainey knows what its like to flirt with the magic number, which only five players have attained in official PGA Tour events. He shot 60 in the McGladrey Classics final round. At the inaugural Greenbrier Classic in 2010, Stuart Appleby shot 59 in the final round to win at 22 under. With favourable scoring conditions this week, theres already talk about surpassing that. On Thursday, the top eight scores produced just nine total bogeys. "I believe you can get to at least 20 (under) this week," Gainey said. "It depends on how much rain we get and how much softer this course gets." Lancasters lone PGA Tour win came at the 1994 Byron Nelson Classic. Hes won $83,000 in five Champions Tour events this year. With an early second-round tee time, he knew where he was heading after Thursdays round. "To bed. Fifty-year-old guys dont want to play golf at 7:20 in the morning," he said. Among those at 2 under were Bill Haas, coming off a win at Congressional last week, and Ryan Palmer, whose caddie is New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton. Phil Mickelson, playing for the first time since finishing second to Justin Rose at the U.S. Open, struggled to a 74. His tee shot on the par-5 17th landed in Howards Creek and he three-putted for triple bogey. He also had five bogeys and four birdies. A similar round on Friday would mean his third missed cut of the year and the third consecutive time hes failed to advance to weekend play at the Greenbrier Classic. "I dont know what it is," Mickelson said. "I felt like I was playing really well heading in here. I dont play this course well. I dont know what the reasoning is. Its just given me problems the last few years." ' ' '
