The Minnesota Vikings achieved a significant victory against the Arizona Cardinals, showcasing impressive performances, particularly from quarterback Sam Darnold. Darnold, who has improved his turnover rate, displayed clutch play, completing critical passes and ranking high in PFF grades.
Head coach Kevin O’Connell praised Darnold's growth and decision-making, highlighting his ability to perform under pressure. Justin Jefferson also returned to form, contributing crucial plays, while the offensive line showed improvement in pass protection.
Despite the win, issues arose, such as Darnold's self-inflicted pressures and Aaron Jones' fumble problems, raising concerns about consistency as the season progresses.
