Vikings’ Kevin O’Connell: “There’s going to be a lot of narratives we can’t control”

The Minnesota Vikings got annihilated by the Dallas Cowboys 40-3 on Sunday and the narratives that the Vikings are frauds have already been circulating.

After the game, head coach Kevin O’Connell was asked about it and he didn’t seem concerned about the outside nose and narratives.

O’Connell is spot on in saying this. You can’t control what people say about you outside of how you perform. Problem is, it hits everyone to a certain point and impacts them. It’s impossible to not hear at least a little bit of the outside noise.

The nice part for the Vikings is that the narratives from this game will be mostly short-lived if they can get the job done on Thursday night against the New England Patriots.

This is arguably O’Connell’s toughest challenge to date and he looks to be up for it.
