Under KOC if you don’t turn it over…
….you’ve got a great chance of winning. Way more than any other team:
“O’Connell’s teams are 37-4 when they break even or win the turnover margin — the highest winning percentage of any NFL team since O’Connell was hired by the Vikings in 2022.“
There’s a secret behind the Vikings’ early-season success.

It’s a basic statistic. One that the players know. One that occupied Kevin O’Connell’s mind Sunday while calling plays.
Why this number is going to define the team’s ceiling in 2026:https://t.co/gUCK6X0f84
And what is KOC's record when he has the same QB start every game? 27-7. Put those two facts together, along with a focus on the run game and a good defense, and you might really have something.

Look out if this franchise ever gets consistent QB play.
BFlos D will feed too.
How'd you like to have to pass against that scheme consistently in a game? Trailing on the score-board?
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
Its up to K1 now. This team is good outside the QB spot, its proven. No excuses, Murray has to perform. Its the last piece. I've washed my mouth of that bitter taste of the stupid INT he threw up for grabs and lets start anew. Its on the road, which I think is better for Kyler early. He plays well and the fans at U.S. Bank will forget that INT as well coming home against the Dolphins the week after.

This is now a drinking game. Drink!

It is why we (or the cards) paid him the big bucks. Time to show he is a franchise QB.

Isn't Viking's football always a drinking game? 😂
But let me know when I start telling lies about its 'put up or shut up time' in QB1 land. ✌️

Well let's start with playing more than 11 snaps. We need Murray to play well if I hope to cash in on our 1st Lombardi lol
The offense needs Kyler. Wentz mostly makes the right decision but then misses the open receiver.

....for the team to be elite. I'll finish that for you. The team potentially can reach a level with him they wouldn't sniff with Wentz. Isn't that what we're hoping for? No idea if it happens.

I hope it does and I maybe it can. Kyler needs to get in a rhythm.
