1. Darnold was gold in the red zone Sam Darnold posted his 12th passer rating of 103.5 or higher in his 15th game for the Vikings. So he was good in every aspect Sunday, but let’s focus on the five snaps he took in two red-zone trips during the 27-24 win at Seattle. With the…

Another week, another big game for Jaxon Smith-Njigba, plus a significant milestone. For almost an entire half, the Vikings kept Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Seattle’s leading receiver, off the stat sheet, though there were two debatable no-calls on third-down pass attempts to Smith-Njigba that featured a lot of early contact from Minnesota defensive backs. Late in the…
SEATTLE — The Vikings won in Seattle for the first time since 2006. They remain in control of their destiny for the No. 1 seed in the NFC, and they’ve got two 13-win seasons in three years, as they head home for a showdown with the Packers. Take a deep breath, Vikings fans. The Vikings…
