SEATTLE – Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson called it a "fluke play," but it was the kind safety Anthony Harris has made commonplace in his team-leading fourth interception Monday night during the Vikings' 37-30 loss.
The problem for the Vikings defense is Seattle's 444 yards are also becoming commonplace against coach Mike Zimmer's pride and joy.
Both Zimmer and Harris, who returned from a groin injury and one-game absence, were mum when asked what went wrong on a 60-yard touchdown pass from Wilson to Seattle receiver David Moore in the third quarter.
The Vikings trailed 27-17 after the score.
"Not really sure what happened," said Harris, who was the lone deep safety on the opposite side of the field. "Those are the things we get on when we go check our film and see where things broke down."
Cornerback Xavier Rhodes trailed Moore on the play.
"I'm not going to explain exactly what was supposed to happen," Zimmer said. "We had a busted coverage."
Wilson didn't throw bombs all night, but he picked apart a secondary that spent much of the bye week focused on its uneven pass defense. Two of the secondary's few highlights came from Harris, who had two pass deflections — the interception and a deep shot to receiver Tyler Lockett down the seam in the third quarter.
