Adam Thielen saved his fantasy day with a touchdown and ended up with five catches on seven discs. KJ Osborn acted as the third receiver in the offense with a total of 31 snaps while Tyler Conklin walked 70 meters through the narrow space.

Offensive line

The offensive line of the Vikings held up quite well in pass protection and achieved a pass blocking value of 76.9 as a unit. It allowed three bags and 10 QB prints in the afternoon. Approach Brian O’Neill led with an 83.8 pass blocking grade and a clean sheet on 39 pass blocking snaps. He didn’t allow any pressure on cousins.

The unit had a little run protection issues, however, and achieved an average run block rating of 53.4.

Line of defense

While Minnesota’s line of defense wasn’t exactly the Purple People Eaters Sunday, it was still effective, getting a pass-rushing grade of 78.7 and a run-defense grade of 66.7. Edge rusher Danielle Hunter paced the unit on an 85.0 pass rushing grade, counting eight QB rushes on 35 pass rushing snapshots.

Linebacker

It was the Eric Kendricks Show in the linebacker room of the Vikings. Boasting an elite pass rushing rating of 90.0, Kendricks came home to sag Wilson on one of his three pass rushing snaps. He scored a total of 10 tackles (zero missed tackles) that afternoon – four more tackles than the next best linebacker. Nick Vigil.

Secondary

As usual, Harrison Smith led a below average secondary school. The former Golden Domer achieved a coverage ratio of 77.1 on 36 coverage snaps and did not allow any catch. The same cannot be said of cornerbacks Patrick Peterson and Bashaud Breeland, however. Peterson finished with a coverage ratio of 51.7, allowing for four receptions for 70 yards and five first downs on six targets. Breeland fared no better as he gave up nine catches on nine targets for 102 yards, one touchdown and seven first downs.

Seattle Seahawks

Quarterback

Russell Wilson finished the afternoon 297 yards through the air and a touchdown. It got a mediocre pass mark of 67.6 and had an air yards percentage of only 35%. Wilson couldn’t get anything going with his legs either. He only had three attempts for seven yards in defeat.

Back race

Chris Carson dashed to a 30-yard touchdown early in the second quarter, and that was the extent of Seattle’s run game. He was occasionally spelled by Alex Collins and Travis Homer, but Homer did not register a carry.

RB	Intoxicating class	Wearing	YDS	Meters after contact	TD	Forced missed tackles	YPC
Alex Collins	62.5	2	9	10	0	1	4.5
Chris Carson	81.1	12th	80	26th	1	1	6.67

After more than 100 yard appearances in a row, Tyler Lockett fell back to earth and came for 31 yards with only four catches. DK Metcalf received a rating of 85.3 and grabbed six catches, all for first downs. He also embarrassed the mind of Patrick Peterson.

WR	Grade received	Receiving snaps	goals	Receptions	YDS	TD	one point
Tyler Lockett	58.3	34	4th	4th	31	0	2.75
DK Metcalf	85.3	32	9	6th	106	1	16.3

Gerald Everett and Homer finished second and third on the team in receiving yards at 54 and 48 respectively.

Offensive line

Seattle’s offensive line was mediocre at barrel blocking, getting a barrel blocking score of 60.3 while collecting 66 meters from contact. The pass blocking, however, was far from ideal. The unit graduated along with a pass-blocking grade of 35.9, allowing for 17 prints, 12 rushes, and three sacks on 38 pass-blocking snapshots.

Line of defense

Darrell Taylor led a defensive line unit that had a 68.7 pass rush grade and an 82.2 run defense grade. Taylor finished the afternoon on a 91.2 pass rush grade with 18 pass rush snaps, one sack, and an 11.1% win rate. Poona Ford also made his presence felt with an 86.5 run defense grade.

Linebacker

Bobby Wagner ended the afternoon with (for him) a measly eight tackles and an overall score of 78.4 on the defensive. The next highest linebacker was Jordyn Brooks, who achieved an overall grade of 64.3.

Secondary

The back line of defense for Seattle has been lit 323 yards and three touchdowns by cousins, and the stats confirm that notion. The top rated player in coverage, Quandre Diggs, completed with a coverage level of 66.8 after not targeting 40 coverage snapshots. Cornerback Three flowers was exposed all afternoon and had a coverage of 50.5 on 40 coverage snapshots. He was sighted seven times, allowing seven receptions for 78 yards and four first downs.
