3rd and 9 in the first quarter. First read is Jefferson, who is open by NFL standards. McCarthy then progresses to the backside and has Addison wide open, but chooses to get Hockenson lit up on the checkdown instead.

Kevin O'Connell mentioned today that a couple of J.J. McCarthy's tipped balls would've led to an explosive play and a touchdown to Jordan Addison. Here are those two plays:

Here's the play KOC drew up on the sideline that got Justin Jefferson wide open behind the defense. You'd like to think McCarthy rips it for a 66-yard touchdown if the pocket holds up. He ended up doing well to gain 16 on a scramble.

Super bummed for Cam Akers suffering another Achilles injury. In his honor, let's all watch him pancake a defensive lineman who's 70 pounds heavier than him and then let him know about it afterwards.

Did Dallas Turner get held or is this just good right tackle play from Lane Johnson? 🤔

Justin Jefferson on his injury: “Not overly concerned. Just a lil thigh bruise, contusion, whatever you want to call it. Something that happens.”

Here's the second Darnold interception. You'd love to see him pick up Jones flashing open as the checkdown. Instead, he tries to go to Jefferson but the two aren't on the same page.

Taj Bradley is gonna be a fascinating pitcher to watch this season. The raw stuff is legit filthy, but he's gotta command it well and keep his pitch count down to have success.

Just feel awful for Carson Wentz on a human level. It feels legitimately irresponsible that he was allowed to play almost the entire game.

Jefferson said McCarthy has looked great in practice. "He can make those throws, he's a great quarterback in this league. It's just all about going out there on Sundays, when it all counts and it all matters, and showing up."

T.J. Hockenson was not happy with his diving touchdown in the fourth quarter getting overturned by the replay center in New York. "Hands are underneath the ball," he said. "It's ridiculous."

Missed this earlier, but C.J. Ham essentially confirms here that he's retiring after 10 seasons with the Vikings, saying it's time for him to be with his family. What a run for the former UDFA from Augustana. Phenomenal football player and human being.

Justin Jefferson on supporting J.J. McCarthy: "With all of the criticism and all of the hateful messages he's probably been getting, he can cut on the TV on SportsCenter, they can talk negatively about him. Just trying to be that person for him that he can always lean on and talk to."

Aaron Jones is genuinely very excited to play his first home game at U.S. Bank Stadium and hear the SKOL chant. “It’s contagious. When you’re on the other sideline, you’re trying not to clap, you’re trying not to get into it.”

Kevin O'Connell on the final play: "Looking back, I wish I would've clocked it and not tried to steal one there." Kirk Cousins had some trouble hearing O'Connell in his headset and the play resulted in a game-ending interception.

Every Max Brosmer throw from Vikings' preseason finale: 15 of 23, 161 yards, 1 TD (and one 40-yard drop). Impressive stuff from the undrafted rookie.

He missed several throws, too. But it's hard not to get excited about the upside when you see a guy do stuff like this, in career start No. 3, against one of the league's top teams. J.J. McCarthy's best plays vs. Lions:

Here's the question I asked Kevin O’Connell about short-yardage play calling and his lengthy answer. "The last thing you want to do is (run the ball) for the sake of doing it and have it be not as productive as you would hope, just to get some things in a statistical column."

J.J. McCarthy got emotional talking about the reception he got from his teammates in the locker room postgame. Can see how much this meant to him after everything he's dealt with on the injury front.

Anthony Edwards is 2 for 21 in his career on shots to tie or take the lead in the final 24 seconds of the fourth quarter or OT. 1 for 18 (and 0 for 6 this season) if you drop it down to the final 10 seconds. (video from Pitless)

I truly believe J.J. McCarthy is going to be a good NFL quarterback when the game slows down a bit and his accuracy starts to click more consistently. The flashes are there.

It's abundantly clear in this video that O'Connell was talking about Justin Jefferson, not Sam Darnold. I understand messing up, it happens, but it's bizarre that the Detroit reporter's tweet is still up — and that he's doubled down since then. C'mon man.
