Last week Adam Thielen requested his release from the Vikings. Monday, the team granted that request. Thielen believes he has a market to sign with a team contending for the playoffs. It’s his final season and this clearly wasn’t working out in Minnesota. His final tally for the year with the Vikings is 18 targets, […]
The Minnesota Vikings went into Seattle to face the Seahawks, and it couldn’t have gone much worse. I won’t say it can’t get worse—because we all know it always can—but that was ugly. It was the first time the Vikings had been shut out since November 11, 2007. Max Brosmer got his chance to start, […]
Ahead of Sunday’s 26-0 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, the Minnesota Vikings made wide receiver Adam Thielen a healthy scratch. On Monday, they made a move that, just a few months ago, would have been unthinkable. The Vikings have just announced that they have waived Adam Thielen, putting a period at the end of what […]
It wasn’t supposed to be like this. Sure, the Minnesota Vikings weren’t going to go 14-3 again after the run they had in 2024, but surely they were going to be a solid contender again in 2025, weren’t they? That’s what yours truly, and a lot of other people, thought going into this season. The […]
With the news that quarterback J.J. McCarthy would not be starting this week for the Minnesota Vikings due to not clearing concussion protocol and that rookie Max Brosmer would be starting in his spot, many fans felt that things could not possibly get worse for the Minnesota offense. The team, apparently, took that as a […]
We are heading to the final fifteen minutes of play at Lumen Field in Seattle, and your Minnesota Vikings trail the Seattle Seahawks by a score of 19-0, which could just as well be 119-0 with the way the purple are playing this afternoon. Seattle got the ball coming out of the locker room at […]
They’re heading into the locker rooms at halftime at Lumen Field, and your Minnesota Vikings trail the Seattle Seahawks by a score of 13-0. The Seahawks were right around midfield to start the quarter, and Dallas Turner collected another sack of Sam Darnold, the defense’s second of the day. Then, the Seahawks picked up 21 […]
We have made it through the first quarter of play at Lumen Field, and your Minnesota Vikings are tied with the Seattle Seahawks, 0-0. The Seahawks won the coin toss and deferred to the second half, giving Max Brosmer and the Vikings’ offense the football first. It looked like a three-and-out on the first drive, […]

Let’s get you up to speed on everything you’ll need to be prepared for this one. Date and Time: Sunday, 30 November 2025, 3:05 PM Central time Location: Lumen Field, […]
We’re just about an hour and a half away from kickoff at Lumen Field in Seattle, and both the Minnesota Vikings and Seattle Seahawks have released their inactive lists for this afternoon’s contest. Let’s take a look at who will be sitting this one out for both sides. Minnesota Vikings Darrisaw had been listed as […]
With our Minnesota Vikings not playing until the late window today, we’ve got some time to hang out before the real action starts, and that can only mean one thing. Yes, we’ve got a limited, modified RED ZONE SUNDAY here at your favorite Vikings website, so we can just sit back and watch some of […]

Well, we’ve got the results of this week’s SB Nation Reacts survey about our Minnesota Vikings, and the results are going to be pretty much what anyone would expect them to be given what happened in Green Bay last week. We only had the one question for you this week, and that was our standard […]
Mad Max takes the wheel in Seattle! Rookie QB Max Brosmer makes his first NFL start as the 4-7 Vikings face the 8-3 Seahawks as 11.5-point underdogs in a Sam Darnold revenge game. Darren Campbell, Dave Stefano, and our numbers guru Drew Bunting break down the chaos, the quarterback crisis, and why this might be […]
I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. I am looking forward to watching some football this weekend. I fear the Vikings game will be painful and could get out of hand early. I know the narrative last year after the playoff loss to the Rams was Sam Darnold was not the answer and not worth […]
If you have been following my writing, you know that I have been a staunch supporter of J.J. McCarthy and trusting the process this season. I have tried to stay positive, even in the face of adversity, but my hope has not been rewarded. Hindsight is 20/20, and if the intention was to compete in […]
The Minnesota Vikings and Seattle Seahawks have issued their final injury reports with injury designations in advance of their Sunday afternoon matchup at Lumen Field. Here they are: Minnesota Vikings For the Vikings, J.J. McCarthy is out so Max Brosmer will get his first start, John Wolford will be the backup, and presumably Desmond Ridder […]
The Minnesota Vikings, as we’ve all seen, as struggling through this 2025 season, and while star wide receiver Justin Jefferson has still been among the league leaders in receptions (currently 13th with 60 through 11 games) and receiving yardage (currently 8th, 795 yards), he hasn’t had quite the numbers that we’ve been accustomed to him […]
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you who observe from all of us at The Daily Norseman! I would expect today to be a relatively light posting day for your favorite Minnesota Vikings website, but the National Football League isn’t slowing down, as we have the (now) traditional tripleheader for your viewing pleasure today. The party […]
It’s the time of year for the Minnesota Vikings to make their (seemingly) annual trip to the Pacific Northwest, as they’ll take to the road in Week 13 to face off against one of the NFL’s best teams, the Seattle Seahawks. These two teams put on a great game last season at this same venue, […]
With J.J. McCarthy in concussion protocol and having missed team reps on Wednesday, it is looking more and more like Max Brosmer will be starting for the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks. In theory, if the Vikings win the rest of their games this season, they could make the playoffs. But with […]
The Minnesota Vikings and Seattle Seahawks have issued their first injury reports of the week in advance of their Sunday afternoon matchup at Lumen Field. Here they are: Minnesota Vikings For the Vikings, J.J. McCarthy remains in the concussion protocol and was limited to individual drills on Wednesday, while Max Brosmer took first-team reps and […]
After being unceremoniously passed over several times, a Minnesota Vikings great who has never really gotten the recognition he should since he left the game has finally gotten a small measure of it. The Pro Football Hall of Fame has released its list of 26 semifinalists for the 2026 Hall of Fame Class, and former […]
