Vikings' Kevin O'Connell Assigns Blame After 27-Point Loss to Chargers
Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell revealed who should shoulder the blame for a 27-point defeat to the Los Angeles Chargers.
The Minnesota Vikings entered "Thursday Night Football" at 3-3 and in need of a win to regain momentum as they continue to await the return of starting quarterback JJ McCarthy, who remains sidelined with an ankle injury.
Following the loss, head coach Kevin O’Connell took full accountability, making it clear that the defeat wasn’t on the defense or quarterback Carson Wentz — it was on him.
We got outplayed. There are no excuses — injuries, short week, whatever it is. That is not, in any way, shape, or form, our standard of what we want to put on the field. As I told our team, we’ve got an opportunity in front of us where we need to own this.
Author's summary: Vikings lose to Chargers by 27 points.
