Kevin O'Connell on Vikings' Loss to Broncos

Transcript

00:00 Disappointing to not try to find a way

00:04 to come away with the victory.

00:06 But you got to give Denver a lot of credit.

00:08 Won the turnover battle 3 to nothing versus us.

00:11 And that's how they've been really thriving,

00:14 playing good defense, forcing turnovers,

00:16 and giving their offense short fields.

00:18 I thought our defense battled all night long,

00:22 holding them to just nine points off those turnovers,

00:24 even with the short fields.

00:27 And then in the end, offensively, ran it well,

00:30 moved the football.

00:32 Could have wanted to be able to run the football tonight,

00:35 going on the road, and thought the guys handled

00:37 that challenge.

00:38 We just would have clearly liked to have a little bit more

00:41 success down in the red zone.

00:43 But in the end, we had an opportunity

00:44 to move the football and give G a swing at it

00:47 to win a game where we lost the turnover battle 3 to nothing.

00:50 Didn't get it done.

00:51 We'll go back to work.

00:54 We've learned this lesson before.

00:57 Playing good football teams, you can't give them

00:59 three extra opportunities.

01:01 And we'll have to continue to stress

01:04 the importance of ball security.

01:06 And that's what we're going to do.

01:07 But injury update wise, Dean Lowry suffered a pec injury.

01:12 It has not been confirmed exactly what that injury is

01:15 yet.

01:16 But he was ruled out with the pec injury.

01:20 And we'll evaluate him for a little bit more tomorrow.
