The Minnesota Vikings hosted the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, December 6, 2015. In a game that saw the boys in purple lose in a commanding fashion, the importance of this contest on the NFC couldn’t be stressed enough.
The 38-7 loss by Minnesota pushed them out of first place in the NFC North and now puts them back into the Wild Card jumble. Meanwhile, the Seahawks are looking to re-establish themselves as a playoff team and resemble the squad that has been a force in the postseason for the last couple years.
This was a statement game for the Minnesota Vikings, who needed to show that they could beat a tough team on a big stage.
