Seahawks Dominate 26-0 as Vikings’ Ryan Kelly Exits with Hip Injury
The Minnesota Vikings faced a significant challenge in their recent matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, suffering a heavy defeat of 26-0. The ramifications of the game have been especially troublesome for the Vikings, as several key players were sidelined with injuries.
Key Player Injuries Impact Vikings
Center Ryan Kelly was ruled out of the game due to a hip injury. This marked another setback for the team, as Kelly has already missed considerable playing time this season due to concussions. In his absence, Michael Jurgens stepped in to take over the center position.
Additionally, the Vikings’ offensive line was weakened further by the absences of left tackle Christian Darrisaw and guard Donovan Jackson, both inactive due to injuries. This situation has significantly impacted the overall performance of the team on the field.
Quarterback Struggles
- Undrafted rookie quarterback Max Brosmer made his first start.
- Brosmer struggled throughout the game, throwing three interceptions.
- The Vikings managed to score no points against a solid Seattle defense.
The offensive difficulties for Minnesota were particularly evident as they trailed 26-0 by the fourth quarter. Meanwhile, running back Aaron Jones also sustained a shoulder injury during the contest, adding to the team’s woes.
Conclusion
The combination of injuries and ineffective play has made it a challenging season for the Vikings. As they head forward, addressing these issues will be critical for their success in upcoming games.
