The Minnesota Vikings are facing challenges with quarterback Sam Darnold as they head into the second half of the season. Despite a win against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Darnold's recent turnover issues, including three interceptions in the game, have raised concerns. Coach Kevin O'Connell emphasized the need for Darnold to improve his decision-making under pressure.

The Vikings' defense shone with two interceptions, maintaining their league-leading total. However, the red-zone offense struggled, dropping in efficiency. As they prepare for upcoming games against the Tennessee Titans and Chicago Bears, the focus will be on improving Darnold's performance and capitalizing on defensive strengths.
