The Minnesota Vikings just can’t have nice things.
On just the second drive of the game, quarterback Jaren Hall left the game with a concussion and was ruled out within minutes of the hit.
He was injured taking off running in the red zone with nobody open. Cornerback Jeff Okudah hit him hard with a helmet-to-helmet hit and then was driven down to the ground. His teammates immediately signaled to the sideline that something was wrong and medical personnel walked him off the field.
It’s extremely frustrating for Vikings fans who just lost Kirk Cousins for the season and their rookie backup was acquitting himself extremely well.
Fans took to Twitter to express their frustration and pain about the injury and this “cursed” team.

#Vikings QB Jaren Hall has left with a concussion. It's all up to the new guy, Josh Dobbs. This could get ugly #Skol

Fun fact: RB Cam Akers is the #Vikings emergency QB. He is now technically QB2 with Jaren Hall ruled out for the rest of the game with a concussion.

Brutal for Jaren Hall

The Vikings lost Kirk Cousins to a torn achilles last week. This week, Jaren Hall, who replaced Cousins, is already out for the game against the Falcons with a concussion.
Good luck Josh Dobbs…

Hope Jaren Hall gets better soon. He looked like he could be a guy.

Rookie QB has the audacity to look good, immediately struck down by the football gods. I'm sorry Jaren Hall. You deserved better than the Minnesota curse.
