The decision to split from the Vikings in his final NFL season was not about “wins or losses” for veteran wideout Adam Thielen. In a message shared this week on social media, Thielen’s wife, Caitlin,

Since then, it's been almost entirely downhill, with only a few moments of hope mixed in.

With rookie backup Max Brosmer starting against the Seahawks Sunday, the Vikings turned the ball over five times, including four interceptions in a 26-0 loss.

The Minnesota Vikings are 4-8 after a 26-0 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday at Lumen Field. Max Brosmer threw four interceptions, including a pick-6, in his NFL debut.

With its undrafted rookie quarterback leading the way, Minnesota lost 26-0 at the Seahawks. It's the first time the Vikings have been shut out since Nov. 11, 2007, ending a 294-game streak with at least one point.

In the fourth quarter, the Fox Sports broadcast showed Jefferson sitting alone on the Vikings’ bench with a towel on his face, looking beyond frustrated as his team was getting shut out.
