Russell Wilson completed 21 of 31 passes for
240 yards and two touchdowns, including a 60-yarder to David
Moore late in the third quarter, as the Seahawks (10-2) moved
into a tie with the 49ers atop the NFC West. Seattle holds the
tiebreaker edge based on a win at San Francisco.
Wilson, who threw one interception, improved to 9-2 in Monday
night games.
Carson rushed for a game-high 102 yards and a touchdown on 23
carries. Penny had 74 yards and a score on 15 attempts, and he
also caught a touchdown pass.
The Vikings (8-4) fell a game behind the Green Bay Packers in
the NFC North. Quarterback Kirk Cousins, who dropped to 0-8 on
Monday nights, was 22 of 38 for 276 yards with two touchdowns
and one interception.
The key play came with 8:50 remaining in the third quarter and
the score tied at 17.
Minnesota's Dalvin Cook rushed up the middle, but the ball was
knocked loose by Seahawks defensive lineman Rasheem Green and
recovered by safety Bradley McDougald at the Vikings 26-yard
line. Cook, who entered the weekend ranked second in the NFL in
all-purpose yards, sustained a shoulder injury on the play and
didn't return.
Shortly thereafter, Jason Myers kicked his second 29-yard field
goal of the game to give Seattle its first lead at 20-17.
Cook finished with nine carries for 29 yards and a touchdown. He
also logged three receptions for 35 yards.
With Seattle trailing 17-10 at the half, Penny scored on a
1-yard run to tie it on the Seahawks' first possession of the
third quarter.
Wilson hit Moore with the 60-yard TD pass and Penny with a
13-yard scoring strike early in the fourth to extend the lead to
34-17.
Cousins found a wide-open Laquon Treadwell for a 58-yard
touchdown pass early in the fourth quarter to make it 34-24. He
hit Kyle Rudolph with a 3-yard score to pull the Vikings within
four with 7:14 remaining after a Seattle turnover.
Myers kicked a 36-yarder to cap the scoring with 25 seconds
left, and the Vikings fumbled the ensuing kickoff to effectively
end the game.
Cook capped Minnesota's first possession of the game with a
2-yard touchdown run. The Seahawks responded with an 8-minute,
1-second drive, with Carson scoring from 1 yard out.
The Vikings took a 14-7 lead on Anthony Harris' 20-yard
interception return in the second quarter. Wilson's pass was
deflected at the line by Minnesota's Armon Watts. Wilson
attempted to spike the ball out of midair, but he ran into two
linemen while doing so with the ball going higher into the air
and into Harris' arms.
