Max Brosmer completed as many passes to Justin Jefferson as he threw interceptions to Ernest Jones IV: two of each. That was the shape of Minnesota’s afternoon on Nov. 30, 2025, when the Seattle Seahawks shut out the Vikings 26-0 at Lumen Field in Week 13 of the 2025 NFL season, holding Jefferson, then the NFL’s second highest-paid receiver, to four yards on those two catches.
Brosmer was making his first NFL start. Minnesota turned to the undrafted rookie because J.J. McCarthy, the team’s regular starter, was in the NFL’s concussion protocol after taking a pair of hard hits in a loss to Green Bay the week before. Brosmer finished 19 of 30 for 126 yards with no touchdowns and became the first player to throw four interceptions in a career debut since Buffalo’s Nathan Peterman threw five against the Los Angeles Chargers in 2017.
Seattle’s defense scored more than Minnesota’s offense did all game. Ernest Jones IV picked off Brosmer twice, returning one interception 85 yards for a touchdown that put Seattle ahead 10-0 in the second quarter. “I was so tired,” Jones said afterward, though he added that a short Seattle drive right after gave him time to recover. DeMarcus Lawrence, who pressured Brosmer into the throw that led to the pick six, called it the best defense he had played on in 12 NFL seasons and said the group still had “another level” to reach. Minnesota had not been shut out since 2007. Seattle had not posted a shutout win since 2015. The full team and player numbers from the game follow below.

The win pushed Seattle to 9-3 and into a share of first place in the NFC West with the Los Angeles Rams. Minnesota fell to 4-8, its fourth straight loss, with Jefferson closing the day with four receiving yards on two catches, the same two catches Brosmer completed to him while throwing just as many interceptions to the linebacker who beat him for a touchdown. A week later, Minnesota returned home to face Washington, and Seattle opened its next game on the road in Atlanta.
