2. Brandon Fusco
Brandon Fusco has been the weak link in the Vikings’ offensive line all season and yesterday was more of the same.
Fusco was lined up much of the day against the Packers’ Mike Daniels and Daniels won that battle handily.
Maybe it’s not fair to single out Fusco on a day when the whole offensive line struggled?
True, Matt Kalil and Mike Harris both had bad days as well, but Kalil at least had the excuse of being hurt and Harris has played so well this season that you’re inclined to give him more of a break.
Fusco has been consistently bad, whether injured or healthy, whether lined up against good players or average players.
Bottom line, Fusco has been a major disappointment in 2015. He is a flat-out bad player.
