The Facts: Vikings’ HC Kevin O’Connell told reporters that Akers suffered an Achilles injury today.

Diehards Line:If torn, that would be the second of his career. ... Akers was injured late in the third quarter with the Vikings driving down the field. Akers caught a ball over the middle of the field and was wrenched down awkwardly. He was able to come off the field under his own power, but did so gingerly. After being looked at on the sidelines, Akers was carted back to the locker room for further evaluation and ruled out.
