#Vikings HC Kevin O’Connell on “what didn’t work with Kyler (Murray)”

“The amount of actual snaps when you realize when he was healthy, able to have consistent preparation. It hasn’t been ideal, but I wouldn’t say that’s a complete thing. It just happened we had the opportunity… pic.twitter.com/aNmo5hYfHv

Kirk Cousins on leaving Minnesota after the 2023 season: I think it was just the business of football. The model that the team used. Everything was done the right way. I think it was handled well by everyone involved.
