The Minnesota Vikings suffered a 27-point defeat to the Los Angeles Chargers, with head coach Kevin O'Connell taking full accountability for the loss.
The Vikings, who entered the game at 3-3, were in need of a win to regain momentum while awaiting the return of starting quarterback JJ McCarthy, who remains sidelined with an ankle injury.
- Minnesota trailed 21-3 at halftime and ultimately fell 37-10.
- The game was never competitive beyond the opening quarter.
"We got outplayed," O'Connell said. "There are no excuses — injuries, short week, whatever it is. That is not, in any way, shape, or form, our standard of what we want to put on the field.
O'Connell made it clear that the defeat wasn’t on the defense or quarterback Carson Wentz, but rather on him, stating that the team needs to own the loss and move forward.
