Vikings' Scoring Streak Ends in Brutal 26-0 Shutout
1 Dec
Summary
- Vikings shut out for first time since 2007, ending 294-game scoring streak.

The Minnesota Vikings offense experienced a historic low during their recent 26-0 defeat against the Seattle Seahawks. This shutout ended the team's remarkable 294-game scoring streak, which had been active since November 11, 2007. It marked the first time the Vikings failed to put points on the board in nearly two decades, highlighting a critical offensive struggle.
The game featured the NFL debut of undrafted rookie quarterback Max Brosmer, who was thrust into the starting role due to injuries to the team's primary quarterbacks. Brosmer's performance was particularly grim, as he completed 19 of 30 passes for 126 yards but threw four interceptions. His passer rating of 32.8 was the lowest recorded by any starting quarterback in the league this season.
Despite facing a strong Seahawks defense on the road, the Vikings had several opportunities to score, including starting drives in favorable field position after Seattle turnovers. However, the offense consistently faltered, turning the ball over and failing to capitalize on these chances. The game concluded with Minnesota unable to break their scoring drought, solidifying this as a significant offensive failure.
