Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell served as offensive coordinator on coaching staffs that were pass-heavy on offense (Rams, 2020-2021) and those that were among the most run-heavy (Washington, 2019).
After the 37-year-old former NFL backup quarterback called 52 passing plays to 19 runs during the Vikings' win against the Giants last weekend, O'Connell said there's a middle ground he can better find. His next opportunity comes Sunday in Green Bay, where the Packers' 27th-ranked run defense has had as many holes as those cheeseheads at times.
"Want to definitely be more balanced. That's on me as the play caller," O'Connell said.
