The Vikings' plane landed around 5 a.m. Tuesday, touching down in the Twin Cities after a series of travel snags at Philadelphia International Airport gave them extra time to stew about their 24-7 loss to the Eagles. Sitting there on the runway, Kevin O'Connell began the process of analyzing his first loss as a NFL head coach.
O'Connell started, he said, by asking himself how well he had done at constructing the Vikings' game plan and how consistently he stuck to it as a play-caller.
"You start that process, and you just know you can be better," O'Connell said.
