Vikings still winning despite offense's unfulfilling drives | |
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) The upside for the Minnesota Vikings is clear: They've finished the first quarter of their first season under new head coach Kevin O'Connell by managing to build a firm foundation with a 3-1 record. Chemistry and confidence can go a long way toward winning - O'Connell described it as "different types of resiliency" - but there's no hiding that an experienced and talented offense he was hired to direct has left a whole lot of points on the field. After escaping London with a 28-25 victory over New Orleans on Sunday that was aided by the luckiest of bounces, the Vikings found themselves ranked 26th in the NFL in red zone scoring. They've turned just seven of their 15 trips inside the 20-yard line into touchdowns for a 46.7% rate. MORE | |
