Misery Index · Despair
Vikings fans pinning eight false starts and a pass-happy game plan on O'Connell while mourning a winnable home loss.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
The M.Price kickoff fumble to open the second half flipped a one-score game, and J.McCarthy's deep shot for J.Jefferson getting picked by M.Humphrey at the 2 closed the coffin minutes later. J.Nailor's 62-yard catch was the lone bright spot in a game defined by false starts, two interceptions, and a special teams gift. Hard to scheme around a roster that keeps handing opponents the ball — and harder to know what fixes any of it.
What fans said
“Thee f*cking definition of beating yourself.. Kickoff return fumble, 2 picks, SO MANY F*CKING false starts when we’re just not an offense that can overcome those.”
