Part 4/12:
Darnold's performance came under scrutiny as he missed open opportunities and displayed a decline in accuracy, which was a stark contrast to his previous games. Analysts emphasized that while Darnold faced immense pressure, he also failed to capitalize on critical moments that could have changed the game’s complexion. The lack of adaptability and responsiveness from the Vikings in the second half put them at a significant disadvantage, culminating in their 9-3 defeat.
