The Minnesota Vikings have been struggling with quarterback play all of 2025, and things only got worse on Sunday.

Minnesota, which had to watch as JJ McCarthy sacked himself on a play against the Packers last week, announced on Friday that undrafted rookie Max Brosmer would start Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks with McCarthy still in the league’s concussion protocol.

Down 3-0 in the second quarter and facing a 4th-and-1 in the end zone, the Vikings decided that they would go for it. That was a bad decision for many reasons.

Less than a second after hiking the ball, Brosmer found himself running for his life as a Seahawks defender chased him all the way back to the 25-yard line.

Instead of just taking the sack, the young Vikings quarterback tossed the ball right to a Seahawks defender who returned it for a pick-6.

With McCarthy still in concussion protocol, the team went out and signed quarterback Desmond Ridder to their practice squad.

The Vikings’ medical staff placed him in the protocol once the team returned to Minnesota.

“It had to be late, based upon how the game went,” O’Connell said

The Vikings are the fifth team to start three different quarterbacks this season.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
