The Seattle Seahawks found themselves in an advantageous position against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 13. The Vikings were without quarterbacks J.J. McCarthy and Carson Wentz due to injury. They were forced to start rookie undrafted free agent Max Brosmer at quarterback, and the Seahawks took full advantage of that spot, winning 26-0.
Brosmer was placed in an impossible situation versus Mike Macdonald's aggressive and complex defense. It went as expected. Brosmer completed 19-of-30 passing attempts for 126 yards, zero touchdowns, and four interceptions. He was sacked four times.

Brosmer became the first quarterback to throw 4+ interceptions in his first career start since Nathan Peterman in 2017. Coby Bryant and Riq Woolen had the Seahawks' other two interceptions. Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell, often praised for his brilliant offensive mind, couldn't figure out how to get Brosmer going.
The Seahawks found themselves in a dreamlike scenario against Brosmer in Week 13. They took full advantage and improved to 9-3.
