The Minnesota Vikings somehow managed to generate their worst quarterbacking performance of the season at the hands of undrafted free agent rookie QB, Max Brosmer, who filled in for the injured JJ McCarthy in Week 13.

The team was shut out by the Seattle Seahawks, 26-0, as Brosmer threw four interceptions and managed just a total of 126 yards passing on the day.

After likely gaining some newfound gratitude for the otherwise struggling McCarthy, Vikings fans received some good news the day after the game, as head coach Kevin O’Connell revealed that the second year man was on track to start in Week 14, at home against the Washington Commanders.

J.J. McCarthy is symptom free, Kevin O’Connell says, and should emerge from the concussion protocol assuming he gets through a full practice Wednesday. He is their expected starter for Sunday’s game vs. Washington.
