The Minnesota Vikings' offense has had its fair share of struggles this season. Most notably, the issues at quarterback are now under a bigger microscope, thanks in part to the team trading away J.J. McCarthy, who is playing well with the New York Giants.
With the Vikings, Kyler Murray has looked like he is finding his footing in recent weeks, but then in other moments he can look lost. Right now he is missing some key offensive linemen, but he does have all his skill players and playcaller Kevin O'Connell around him.
And if you ask O'Connell, the offense is close to achieving a new level of play.
O'Connell stated, "There were nine explosive [plays] on offense, but we left a lot out there. I think our guys are very confident that we're not far
off. The 'far off' changes a little bit as you go, but I'm very, very confident we'll get it going."
The Vikings won't have it any easier in Week 8 as they are poised to take on the Detroit Lions. Murray will need to, though, or else the Vikings' undefeated season will go away rather directly.
