NFL
Seahawks, Vikings will square off with similar formulas
By DAVE CAMPBELL
Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS
—
When the Minnesota Vikings
grow up, they want to be just
like the Seattle Seahawks.
Wait, maybe they already
are.
Time will tell, of course,
whether the Vikings can
reach the level of dominance
the Seahawks set in 2013
and 2014 on their way to the
franchise¶s ¿rst Super %owl
victory and consecutive NFC
championships.
Even in ¿rst place in the
NFC North, the Vikings (8-3)
have more improvements to
make before they can be in
that conversation.
This
year,
though,
they’ve already surpassed
the Seahawks (6-5) in the
standings.
With Adrian Peterson
again leading the NFL
in rushing and fueling a
low-turnover offense, plus a
consistently stingy defense
and solid special teams, the
Vikings have been using a
formula for success that’s
similar to the Seahawks even
if it’s an imperfect compar-
ison.
“What I’ve tried to do is

build an organization and an
environment here that consti-
tutes winning. We try to win.
We try to play smart football.
We try to play understanding
the quick situations of the
game,” Vikings coach Mike
Zimmer said.
“I never go into a season
saying we’ll be 8-3 or we’ll
be 3-8 or anything like that.
I just kind of try to get our
team to play the very best
they can each Sunday. I think
having a culture of winning
helps.”
The Seahawks have
certainly established that.
They started 2-4, but they’ve
averaged 33.3 points over
their past three games to
climb back into the playoff
picture. The defense is still
stacked, even if it’s been
more vulnerable than in
recent years.
“Half of their defense are
game-wrecker type players.

In this Nov. 29, 2015, ile photo, Minnesota Vikings run-
ning back Adrian Peterson (28) runs against the Atlanta
Falcons during the second half of an NFL football game
in Atlanta.
So we’ve got our hands full,”
Vikings left tackle Matt Kalil
said.
Here are some other things
to know about the game:
PETERSON PRIMED:
Peterson had 125-plus yards
in three of the last four
games, hitting his stride for
the stretch run like he did
during his NFL MVP season
in 2012. The Seahawks have
allowed the seventh-lowest
average per rushing attempt
in the league, but Peterson
gained 158 yards on 29
carries last week at Atlanta,
which is now sixth in the
NFL in that category.
“It’s always a grind,
especially around Week 13,
but my body feels good,
shoulders,
legs
mostly
importantly,” Peterson said.
“So, yeah, I feel pretty good.
%lessed.”
REPLACING JIMMY
GRAHAM: The Seahawks
will play their ¿rst game
without Jimmy Graham after
the star tight end was lost for
the rest of the season to a torn
MLB
patellar tendon in his right
knee. While questions have
been raised about how well
the three-time Pro %owler
¿ts with this offense, there’s
no doubt he was a factor
defenses had to account for.
Graham was on the ¿eld
for nearly 78 percent of
Seattle’s offensive plays
this year since arriving in a
trade with New Orleans. He
had just two touchdowns
after totaling 51 scores over
his ¿rst ¿ve seasons in the
league, but he was creating
openings for other Seahawks
receivers simply by being on
the ¿eld.
Seahawks coach Pete
Carroll
said
Graham’s
absence won’t change the
scheme. Luke Willson,
who has 12 catches for 152
yards and one score as the
secondary tight end, will be
the starter.
“Nothing I haven’t been
through before,” Willson
said, “and I’m ready to roll.”
MINNESOTA MEMO-
RIES: Carroll will make his
¿rst visit with the Seahawks
to Minnesota, where he
served as defensive backs
coach from 1985-89. He was
hired by Pro Football Hall of
Fame coach %ud Grant.
“I just found him to be an
extraordinary person with
incredible insight and under-
standing of people and sports
and the world,” Carroll said.
MAKING
THEM-
SELVES AT HOME :The
Vikings are 9-4 at the Univer-
sity of Minnesota’s open-air
TCF %ank Stadium, the best
winning percentage in NFL
history for a team playing in
a temporary venue. They’ll
move downtown into ¿xed-
roof U.S. %ank Stadium next
year.
CENTURY
MARK:
Even with Marshawn Lynch
sidelined for 4½ games so
far this season, most recently
because of an abdominal
injury, the Seahawks have
made the ground game a
priority behind the bruising
undrafted rookie Thomas
Rawls.
%y rushing for at least
100 yards as a team in 22
consecutive games, they’re
tied with Carolina for the
longest active streak in
the NFL. That run, no pun
intended, almost ended last
week against Pittsburgh
with exactly 100 yards on 27
attempts. The Vikings have
held six of their 11 opponents
under 100 yards rushing.

By TIM BOOTH
Associated Press
SEATTLE — When
Jerry Dipoto took charge
of the Seattle Mariners he
arrived with a list of tasks to
complete and a rough time-
line for getting them done.
Get his support staff in
place, decide on his ¿eld
manager and then be aggres-
sive and active in overhauling
a roster that needed changes.
“Yeah, I can get a little
hyper-focused,” Dipoto said.
No kidding. When Dipoto
and the Mariners get to the
baseball winter meetings in
Nashville next week, they’ll
arrive as the most active team
in baseball since the end of
the regular season.
The big names might be
missing from Seattle’s trans-
actions list, but it’s a ledger
of additions, subtractions and
alterations to the Mariners
roster that’s even exceeded
some of Dipoto’s expecta-
tions.
“We’ve done a lot of
roster reshaping if that makes
any sense and we didn’t
go in to the garden with a
spade. We kind of went in
with a backhoe,” Dipoto
said after Seattle announced
the signing of free agent
out¿elder Nori Aoki this
week. “And I think we’ve
effectively restructured the
way our offense moves and
the way our defense is posi-
tioned.”
It’s been non-stop for
Dipoto since Nov. 5, when
his Àurry of activity began
with a six-player trade with
the Tampa %ay Rays. Five
additional trades and four

free agent signings later
and the Mariners have a
completely different look
from a season ago.
Aside from Robinson
Cano, Kyle Seager, Nelson
Cruz and Felix Hernandez,
lineup cards will be needed
to keep track of the new
additions.
All this activity happened
in the span of one month.
And the ¿rst pitch of the 2016
regular season is still four
months away, giving Dipoto
plenty of time to tinker.
“They are the core of our
club, they’re signed long
term, and they are celebrated
elite all-star level players
and that is the group we are
building around,” Dipoto
said of Seattle’s group of
All-Stars. “What we’ve
been trying to do today,
and I think we’re doing it
effectively, is we’re raising
the Àoor around them so that
we have the ability to go out
and stretch that lineup, make
it deeper.”
Without ever making a
public statement, Dipoto
has clearly shown where
he saw fault with the way
that the Mariners had been
constructed. The idea of
power and playing static
positions has been replaced
by the priorities of athleti-
cism and versatility. Seattle
doesn’t intend on being a big
spender in free agency, but
the additions made already
far outweigh any one big
signing the club could have
made.
The out¿eld was Dipoto’s
top priority — trying to
put together a collection of
players who ¿t within the vast
expanses of Safeco Field.
Aoki and Leonys Martin will
join with Franklin Gutierrez,
Seth Smith and Cruz in a
¿ve-man rotation among all
three out¿eld positions.
Dipoto also created
depth at catcher with the
acquisitions of Chris Iannetta
and Steve Clevenger to
give former No. 3-overall
pick Mike Zunino time in
the minors to ¿gure out his
swing issues. First base was
sacri¿ced after the trade of
Mark Trumbo earlier this
week.
The one area where
Dipoto acknowledges Seattle
may have to get aggressive
is starting pitching. If
Seattle can persuade Hisashi
Iwakuma to return, then its
starting pitching quandary
is mostly solved, even if the
Mariners would then have a
right-hand heavy rotation.
%ut if Iwakuma decides to
go elsewhere, then adding a
proven starter to the rotation
becomes the top priority.
“There is a lot of
offseason left,” Dipoto said.
“The league, the industry, the
market is going to de¿ne our
timing on this.”

LAS VEGAS — Ike
Nwamu scored 19 points
to lead UNLV to an 80-69
win over No. 15 Oregon on

helping the Rebels end a
near-10 minute drought
from the Àoor.
The
Ducks
closed
to 59-54 before Carter
made two free throws,
Zimmerman connected on
a jump shot and McCaw
made a layup to restore
UNLV’s double-digit lead.
Oregon, which was held
scoreless over the ¿nal
3:31, was led by Dwayne
%enjamin’s 21 points.
The Rebels controlled
the tempo from the opening
tip, burying three straight
3-pointers to open a 9-2
lead. UNLV used runs of
13-5, 10-0 and 7-0 to hold
off the Ducks.
COLUMBIA BASIN

outu of, falling to Columbia
%asin 85-67.
Jared Schultz led %lue
Mountain in scoring with
15 points on 6-12 shooting
and also grabbed six
rebounds. Other top scorers

— At Pendleton, the %lue
Mountain Timberwolves
couldn’t hold on to a half-
time lead as Grays Harbor
used a strong third quarter
performance to put away
the Timberwolves for the
victory.
The Timberwolves led
40-32 at halftime, but Grays
Harbor outscored %MCC
28-17 in the third quarter
and 15-11 in the fourth to
