SEATTLE (AP) — Rashaad Penny scored one touchdown rushing and one receiving, Russell Wilson hit David Moore for a 60-yard TD pass, and the Seattle Seahawks built a big second-half lead before holding off the Minnesota Vikings for a 37-30 win. Seattle moved into a tie with San Francisco atop of the NFC West but holds the tiebreaker for now. It has the inside track to the division title with four games left. Minnesota fell one game behind Green Bay in the NFC North.

 

 

CEDAR FALLS — Northern Iowa will visit Missouri Valley rival South Dakota State in the round of 16 in the FCS playoffs. The Panthers opened the playoffs with a win over the University of San Diego and just more than two weeks ago lost at South Dakota State 38-7. UNI coach Mark Farley says while the Panthers are anxious for the rematch it will take a much better effort.

Turnovers were a huge factor in the first meeting. The Jackrabbits took advantage of three Panther interceptions and one fumble.

Farley doubts there will be many surprises in this game.

Kickoff in Brookings Saturday is scheduled for 1 o’clock.
