Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell made it clear he still has full faith in Sam Darnold following a season-worst performance in Sunday's 12-7 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Darnold went 24-of-38 for 241 yards and three interceptions. The Vikings prevailed on the strength of their defense, which held Jacksonville to 143 total yards.
In his postgame speech inside the locker room, O'Connell highlighted the defensive effort but made sure to tell Darnold that "everyone in this locker room knows you are the f--king guy that's gonna take us there."
A lot of fans have been wondering whether the bottom would fall out for Darnold because the way he started the season was such an improvement over his first six years in the NFL.
