Seahawks got a TD, the Vikings didn’t. That was the difference. Hard to win when you don’t score at least one TD.
There is truth in what you say. BUT...
The Vikings held the feared Sea Hawk offense to just one touchdown and one field goal and, in the end, were poised to put an unanswerable field goal on the scoreboard and win the game. And, I’ve got to admit, that Russell Wilson’s miraculous recovery and completed forward pass after that botched snap was, in my unexpert opinion, the play of the game.
Then the Vikings shot themselves in the foot. All. By. Themselves.
I’ve come late to football so it was just a disappointing end to a hard fought game to me.
On the other hand, my boss is a lifelong Vikings fan (as in born and raised in the state). His entire family (four sons) are lifelong Vikings fans. Man, was he blue today. Had absolutely no charitable words for Mr. Walsh either.
(Although he did mellow a little bit during the day and just wanted to punch the errant kicker in the nose by quitting time this afternoon. No, he won’t become more forgiving about it tomorrow but he will be getting back to his much more cheerful self.)
