Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold can not appear to benefit from red-zone alternatives.
Late within the first half Sunday, along with his crew trailing the Jacksonville Jaguars, 7-3, Darnold was picked off when the Vikings had been contained in the 10-yard line.
Early within the third quarter, Darnold make the identical mistake once more.
This continues a development for the Vikings signal-caller. Whereas Darnold has handed for 1,900 yards and 17 TDs this season, interceptions have been a significant difficulty. Darnold had already thrown seven interceptions coming into Week 10. That quantity continues to develop along with his three interceptions to this point in opposition to the Jaguars, together with the 2 within the pink zone.
Going up in opposition to a Jaguars crew that’s solely 2-7 and has given up 20 or extra factors in all however two of its video games, this gave the impression to be the right alternative for Darnold to turns issues round. Sadly for the Vikings, this turnover development, notably within the pink zone, doesn’t appear to be going away.
