O'Connell was livid after team turned the ball over four times in six-point loss to Philadelphia
More notable though was what Netflix mics picked up from Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell's postgame message to his team.“We’re 0-2. We’ve lost by a combined nine points and we’ve lost the turnover battle 7-1. When we talk about, ‘It’s all about the ball,’ it’s gotta f****** mean something to you. Everything inside you," O'Connell angrily preached to the team behind closed doors. "That’s just purely holding the organization in your hands and not caring enough.
His message in Philadelphia was significantly less positive than Vikings fans have been accustomed to hearing and was a look into the what an angry O'Connell sounds like after a difficult loss. Unfortunately, the Vikings didn't stop the bleeding, losing the following week to the Los Angeles Chargers by four points after giving away the ball twice. Minnesota struggled to fix the turnover issue throughout 2023, giving the ball away 34 times, which were the second most in the league.
