Vikings coach embarrassed himself with Bears kick return comment

Everyone copes with losses differently. Some get angry, some make excuses, and some just blatantly refuse to acknowledge reality.

Minnesota Vikings special teams coordinator Matt Daniels would fall into the "blatantly refuse to acknowledge reality" category after his team gave up a huge return to the Chicago Bears and kickoff returner Devin Duvernay on Sunday.

Daniels minimized the Bears' strategy on the play, saying that "anyone" could have run to the field side with the lack of discipline his coverage unit had, and busted off a big return. Unfortunately, it's a lack of accountability that only serves to make Daniels look bad and bring even more awareness to the excellent strategy by the Bears on that particular play.
