The Seattle Seahawks clawed their way to an ugly win over the Minnesota Vikings today, coming out on top at home by a score of 26-0. They got it done despite another rough game from quarterback Sam Darnold, who struggled against his former team's highly-aggressive defense.

As the Seahawks quarterback, Darnold has breathing room he didn’t have with the Vikings, creating space for mentorship, a league-leading partnership with a star receiver and a chance to return to the playoffs.

Justin Jefferson and the Minnesota Vikings had arguably their worst game of the 2025 season in Week 13, falling to 4-8 after a 26-0 loss to Sam Darnold and the Seattle Seahawks. Jefferson struggled against Seattle, finishing with just two catches for four yards. Darnold wasn’t spectacular but fared better, completing 14-of-26 passes for 128 yards.
