November 22, 2015 — 7:53pm

OFFENSE

Souhan's grade: D

Bad offensive line play destroyed what looked like a sound game plan.

DEFENSE

Souhan's grade: D

Allowing 30 points at home against what had been a struggling offense?

SPECIAL TEAMS

Souhan's grade: D

Walsh missed an extra point, Locke punted into the end zone early, and Patterson head-butted a kicker.

COACHING

Souhan's grade: c

Not sure how to coach around bad offensive line play. Penalties had been a point of pride before Sunday.

Scoggins: Adofo-Mensah meets draft night challenge in a big way

Kwesi Adofo-Mensah's first two drafts as Vikings GM left a lot to be desired, to put it kindly. But he was up to the challenge Thursday on one of the most important nights in the team's history.
