SEATTLE(AP) — The Minnesota Vikings were having enough problems on offense with J.J. McCarthy at quarterback.

With McCarthy in the concussion protocol, the Vikings turned to Max Brosmer for his first NFL start, and against the Seattle Seahawks' fearsome defense, the undrafted rookie was in a tough spot.

Brosmer threw four interceptions in Sunday's 26-0 loss . It was the fourth straight defeat for Minnesota (4-8), which was shut out for the first time in 18 years.

“In no way, shape or form can we play offensive football like that and try to win at a place like this,” Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell said. “We just did not have a type of offensive performance that is ever going to be acceptable.”

The last time Minnesota failed to score was in a 34-0 loss against Green Bay on Nov. 11, 2007
