Misery Index · Despair
Vikings fans are 6-1 and already drafting KOC's termination letter over one cowardly punt in Detroit.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse. ● biggest swings
What happened
K.Murray hit J.Addison for 51 yards and T.Hockenson for an 8-yard touchdown in the fourth, pulling Minnesota within four and briefly suggesting a pulse. Then came the punt with about three minutes left, a choice the fanbase has already filed under malpractice, capping a day that also featured a J.Bates miss off the left upright and a D.Reed interception. The lingering question isn't how this one slipped away, but how much longer KOC keeps the play sheet.
What fans said
“Punting with 3 minutes left is absolute malpractice”
