Kevin O'Connell on Vikings' 5-0 start: 'I'm proud of this team'

The bye comes unbeaten. Minnesota's win over the New Orleans Saints sends the Vikings into their break with five victories and gives Kevin O'Connell a straightforward message for his postgame press conference: "I'm proud of this team."

FOX 9's upload reached about 18,000 views in its first seven hours, already well beyond the audience a regular video usually draws over a full first day. The comments were four times as numerous as on a typical first day, too.

Viewers are discussing improvement on offense and O'Connell's willingness to adjust. Amid the football shorthand, one reader asks who "KOC" is: the coach's initials have become familiar enough that others use them without explanation.

The station's follow-up Vikings Now Podcast turns that unbeaten start into a bigger question: what is this team's ceiling? Jim Rich, Dawn Mitchell and Pierre Noujaim discuss the Saints win, with the episode's description singling out Kyler Murray's performance as his best game as Minnesota's starting quarterback. O'Connell's press conference supplies the coach's response; the podcast takes up what the result could mean.
