Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold’s career year spiraled in the final two games of the season, but after the playoff loss on Monday, head coach Kevin O’Connell pointed to the bigger picture.
“What he was able to do this year, when not very many people thought he would be able to lead a team to 14 wins, which is rare,” O'Connell told reporters after a 27–9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. “The way he came in, committed himself to just a daily process to be the best version of himself.”
