Kevin O'Connell is responsible for the Vikings' Kyler Murray mess
The Vikings suffered their first loss of the season to the Detroit Lions on Sunday. The offense's inability to stay on the field was a huge factor, as the Lions leaned into heavier personnel and the run game in the second half to neutralize Brian Flores' blitzing madness. But a bigger issue was Kyler Murray's performance.
Murray made some nice throws and finished the day completing 17-of-29 passes for 210 yards, two touchdowns and an interception, but the misses and failure to find open receivers overshadowed his stats. Still, the "we're close" tune sung for weeks about the Vikings' offense continued after the loss.
