Kevin O'Connell on Vikings' Loss to Lions

Transcript

00:00 All righty.

00:00 We had four players sustain some injuries and did not return.

00:06 Addison, Hawkinson, and Wanham, while we further evaluated

00:09 Addison with an ankle, Hawkinson with his knee, and DJ Wanham,

00:15 we need to confirm a potential quad injury.

00:18 There, Blackman had a shoulder, tried to come back,

00:21 and was not able to keep going.

00:24 Thought our guys battled, left everything absolutely out

00:27 there, some critical plays to try to find a way

00:31 to win the game there in the end,

00:33 but ultimately fell a little bit short there

00:36 and had our fourth turnover of the day, which

00:39 we knew would be some tough sledding to try

00:42 to overcome losing the turnover battle like that.

00:45 But proud of our guys for the way they battled.

00:48 Got to tip your hat to Dan and his group over there.

00:53 Hard fought, hard fought football game and very much

00:57 a tough feeling in that locker room right now.

00:59 These guys continue to battle, continue to work.

01:02 I can tell by the look in their eyes

01:03 that they're ready to go back to work,

01:05 figure out where we have to overcome possibly some injury

01:09 adversity, and get back to work this week

01:11 and prepare for another home game next week.
