The iconic play-by-play announcer said he had to clean up his “mess” after being confronted by the NFL during Thursday night’s game.
Minnesota finished 14-3 last season. The Vikings already have four losses this season after Thursday's listless performance in Los Angeles.
Many speculated about what Kevin O’Connell would do if Carson Wentz played well and potentially strung together some wins. While Wentz has performed adequately, the Vikings are currently on a two-game losing streak. Quarterback play hasn’t been the team’s only issue, but it remains a clear weakness.
Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell confirmed after Thursday's Week 8 loss when QB J.J. McCarthy would make his return.
The Vikings' 37-10 loss to the Chargers on Thursday night was one of the ugliest performances of the Kevin O'Connell era, which is now almost halfway through its fourth season. But does it rise all the way to the top of that list?
Through eight weeks, the Minnesota Vikings have just three wins. The alarm bells really get loud when you realize that they barely beat Caleb Williams and Dillon Gabriel, while blowing away a Bengals team that was reeling the week after Joe Burrow suffered a long-term toe injury.
