Vikings’ Passing Game Fails Them Against Lions

The Minnesota Vikings suffered their worst offensive performance of the season, failing to score a touchdown on four trips to the red zone. Quarterback Sam Darnold’s accuracy was off in Sunday night’s 31-9 loss to the Detroit Lions. Despite being the winningest team in NFL history that did not finish first in its division, the Vikings’ struggles with their passing game have raised concerns. Coach Kevin O’Connell acknowledged that the team could have had a different outcome if they had made more plays down in the red zone. The Vikings will now focus on conducting a full debrief to improve their performance in the playoffs, where they hope to avoid a repeat of their current losing streak.
