Minnesota Vikings outside linebacker Dallas Turner filled up the stat sheet during Sunday\u2019s game against the Seattle Seahawks.<\/p>\n
Turner made five tackles, recorded two sacks, registered three quarterback hits, broke up one pass and forced two fumbles. <\/p>\n
Turner\u2019s effort did not keep the Vikings from losing, however, as Seattle scored a 26-0 victory by spoiling rookie quarterback Max Brosmer\u2019s first NFL start with four interceptions.<\/p>\n
Turner entered Sunday without a forced fumble in his 28 NFL games.<\/p>\n
On Turner\u2019s first sack of Seattle quarterback Sam Darnold, the Seahawks recovered the football at their 46-yard line for an 8-yard loss with 13:24 left in the second quarter. Seattle finished that series with a field goal for the game\u2019s first points. <\/p>\n
On the Seahawks\u2019 next possession, Darnold fumbled again when sacked by Turner, and this time, Minnesota recovered the football at the Seattle 13-yard line. But the Vikings squandered the opportunity when Brosmer threw an interception on fourth-and-1 that linebacker Ernest Jones returned 85 yards for a touchdown.<\/p>\n
Turner had 4.5 sacks in his first 25 NFL games. He has four sacks in his past three games.<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean, it was just playing fast,\u201d Turner said<\/a>. \u201cJust the more familiar that we get with the defense, just the deeper we get into the season, you know, just the faster we jell together, the faster we play.
