Defense, Turnovers Cost Vikings at Seattle

The Vikings lost a competitive tilt at Seattle 37-30, after being up at halftime 17-10.

It many ways, it was another blood-boiling loss to the Seahawks, where mistakes cost the Vikings the game.

Xavier Rhodes, getting burned for a TD, apparently expecting safety help with Harrison Smith in front of him on the line of scrimmage, having played with him and in this defense for six years, while collecting $13+ million in salary cap this season, is not a situation that can continue. In fact, given the season Rhodes has had this year, and last year for that matter, along with Rhodes’ contract, this should be the last straw.
