Prayers are pouring in for Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold on Sunday afternoon.

Darnold, who has led the Minnesota Vikings to an 8-2 start, is trending on social media, after limping off of the field against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. The former first round pick, who has played like what many NFL scouts thought he could coming out of USC, suffered an apparent leg injury against the Bears in a divisional round game.

It looked rough.

Prayers are pouring in for the Minnesota Vikings young quarterback on Sunday.

"Prayers up for Sam Darnold," one fan wrote.

"Well that's just great. Tough result on a good escape and throwaway. Hope Darnold's ok," one fan added.

"Let Darnold be ok. I can't do five more games of Nick Mullens," one fan added.

"Darnold pls be ok," one fan added.

"Please be ok Sam Darnold," one fan added.

Darnold had played well on Sunday. The former New York Jets first round draft pick had thrown for 240 yards and two touchdowns on 16 of 24 passes. He had played throw for throw with No. 1 overall NFL Draft pick Caleb Williams, who had tossed 25 of 36 passes for 263 yards and one touchdown.

Hopefully, the injury to Darnold isn't anything too serious on Sunday afternoon, but right now, it's not looking good. 

The Vikings are looking to improve to 9-2 on the season with a win over the Bears on Sunday.
