The Minnesota Vikings will get a clear picture of what could have been for 2025 on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks.

Minnesota let quarterback Sam Darnold walk in free agency for a $100.5 million contract with the Seahawks (8–3), and he has put together a mostly MVP-caliber season, minus a dud against the Los Angeles Rams. The Vikings (4–7), meanwhile, have been mired in a quarterback carousel. Its latest turn came with J.J. McCarthy in concussion protocol after more lackluster play, and a third quarterback, rookie Max Brosmer, looks poised to start on Sunday.
