The Minnesota Vikings suffered something of a double loss during their Thursday game against the Los Angeles Rams. Not only did they lose the game, but they lost a key player for the season as well.
Vikings tackle Christian Darrisaw suffered a left knee injury that will require season-ending surgery, according to multiple reports.

Darrisaw, the anchor of Minnesota’s offensive line, went down late in the first half of Thursday’s game after Rams safety Jaylen McCollough landed on his leg. He was ruled out for the rest of the game shortly afterward. The Vikings went on to lose 30-20, and did not catch many other breaks in the process.
The Vikings know Darrisaw’s value, as they signed him to a four-year, $104 million contract extension during the offseason. This represents a huge loss for their offense.
