Vikings Week 8 Stock Market Report
The Minnesota Vikings snapped a 12-game winning streak with a 19-15 loss to the Detroit Lions, prompting criticism of head coach Kevin O'Connell’s conservative play-calling and quarterback Kyler Murray’s inconsistent performance.

The Lions’ game plan—double‑covering Justin Jefferson and T.J. Hockenson and exploiting Murray’s former offensive coordinator’s insights—limited the Vikings’ passing rhythm.
