Easy to overlook given all of the doom and gloom, but a fascinating tidbit emerged from Kevin O’Connell’s presser from earlier in the week.
Apparently, the team’s head coach used the fine folks at U.S. Bank Stadium to help pull off a great play against Kansas City. The disgust from Minnesota’s fans helped to sell the punt fake, at least per O’Connell. “I know the fans didn’t like me sending the punt team out there,” O’Connell notes, “but they were part of the sell, as well.”
