Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell took responsibility for the team's 27-point defeat to the Los Angeles Chargers.
The Vikings, who entered the game at 3-3, were in need of a win but trailed 21-3 at halftime and ultimately fell 37-10.
We got outplayed... There are no excuses — injuries, short week, whatever it is. That is not, in any way, shape, or form, our standard of what we want to put on the field.
O'Connell made it clear that the defeat wasn't on the defense or quarterback Carson Wentz, but on him, saying the team needs to own the loss.
