This might be the first game where I say Nick Mullens might've honestly played better. Still might've had two or three picks, but he also would've had a TD or two probably.
Darnold was just...slow today. Had plenty of time on many snaps. He kept using too much of it being indecisive and then forcing bad throws instead of living to see another down.
Lucky to get a win today, helps when you play Mac Jones. KOC has done a great job, but he needs to keep things simple instead of trying to outsmart everyone. Why on earth are we running a reverse in the red zone in the 4th quarter? Just keep it simple and kill the clock and we win
From Viking postgame call-in show:
Ron Johnson: “In that situation I’d just pound it in with my big package.”
Nordo: “Okay settle down.”

Since 2010, teams with 3 TOs and 0 TDs were 0 - 147 entering today
He's gotta throw to people in close fields that aren't JJ. Every INT he threw (except the 4th one called back for penalty) targeted JJ. That's what bothered me yesterday -- he often had plenty of time to throw. He kept forcing to JJ anyway. There had to be better options on those throws.
Vikings: "We can win a game even with 3 interceptions"
Lions: "Hold my beer"

I must say I love Mondays when the KOC postgame speech video hits my social. Seems like the guys would run through a brick wall for that guy.
Oof this is starting to feel like a guy that is going to have nagging injuries impact his ability to play, I hope that’s not the case.
