Hurting on defense and mostly noncompetitive on offense, the Minnesota Vikings were roughed up by the visiting Seattle Seahawks in Week 13—losing by a 38-7 final at TCF Bank Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
After 12 games, the Vikings are now 8-4.
Sunday's highly anticipated matchup was a disaster from start to finish, as the Seahawks jumped out to a 21-0 lead at halftime and eventually held a 35-0 advantage in the fourth quarter. It took a Cordarrelle Patterson kickoff return for a touchdown for the Vikings to avoid a shutout.
Minnesota was outgained by 308 yards in a game that was rarely competitive.
