Part 2/9:
Early on in the discussion, Giannotti shared his relief at not having to stay up late watching the game, explicitly thanking the team for their poor showing. Expressing that the Vikings' dramatic decline in performance felt like a collective deflation for the fanbase, he noted how jarring it was for a team that had previously won 14 games. The contrast was palpable; a season that held so much promise ended in abject failure, particularly against rivals like the Lions and the Rams.
