It's March 28th. This is NFL News Today, your AI-powered source for everything NFL. Fans are sharing their worst Minnesota Vikings games they've seen live, and one stands out as a total nightmare from September 29th to 2002. The Vikings hit the road to face the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night football, and running back Sean Alexander lit them up with five touchdowns in. The first half alone. Half-time score? 45-10. Brutal. It started rough right out the gate. Seahawks marched down field on the opening kickoff for a quick score. Then Alexander ripped off big runs, including a 43 yarder to make it. 14-nothing fast. Vikings went three and out, and Seattle kept pouring it on without mercy. Turnovers killed Minnesota after that. They fumbled two kickoffs in a row, both leading straight to more Alexander touchdowns. Then a Dante culpepper pass got picked off and returned for six, sealing the first half demolition. Even Seahawks fans around the lone Viking supporter seemed shot.

This fan had driven 45 minutes from Tacoma, snagged the nosebleed seat, and washed his team crumble in prime time on enemy turf. No booze from the crowd. Just stuns silence amid the blowout. That night etched itself as the absolute low point for Vikings' heartbreak in person, a reminder how one explosive half can scar you for life.
