Minnesota Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell says his team can't play offensive football like it did Sunday and expect to win.

As they move forward after another frustrating defeat, all the Vikings can do is take a day-by-day approach and try to win a football game this week at Lambeau Field. If they do that, they'll have a slight spark of hope heading into another tough road game in Seattle.

Quarterback Sam Darnold after Minnesota Vikings sacked him a season-high 4 times, held him to a season-low of 128 passing yards in Seahawks win Sunday, Nov. 30, 2025, at Lumen Field in Seattle.

As the play-caller and primary designer of a scheme that has proven over time it can consistently create a potent downfield passing attack, O'Connell must determine once and for all how to revamp the strategy in a way that suits the Vikings as they're currently constructed for the foreseeable future.

The Vikings could consider adding competition for QB J.J. McCarthy, per ESPN. Daniel Jones, Kyler Murray, and Anthony Richardson are options.

J.J. McCarthy is in concussion protocol at this point in his second season with the team and he does not appear to be the team’s quarterback of the future.

The Minnesota Vikings are 4-7 after a 23-6 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday at Lambeau Field. Kevin O'Connell had a tone of disappointment after, Justin Jefferson is among several players frustrated.

Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell, often praised for his brilliant offensive mind, couldn't figure out how to get Brosmer going. The Seahawks found themselves in a dreamlike scenario against Brosmer in Week 13.
