NFL Coach Hypes Darnold, 3-0 Vikings: 'S--t, They're for Real' After Win vs. Texans

One NFL assistant coach is fully buying into the Minnesota Vikings' 3-0 start to the 2024 season.

"They get the ball upfield as well as anyone, they do it by design and they make good use of their personnel to make explosive plays," the coach said to The Athletic's Mike Sando. "The combination of what Minnesota is doing defensively and what they are doing in the passing game … s--t, they're for real."

Fans took notice when Minnesota downed the reigning NFC champion San Francisco 49ers 23-17 in Week 2. The Vikings made an even stronger statement Sunday when they blew out the Houston Texans 34-7.
