Minnesota Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell delivered an uncharacteristically direct and public ultimatum Monday with his team leading the NFL in turnovers amid an 0-3 start, Kevin Seifert of ESPN reports.
"I think that's something we're going to fix one way or the other," O'Connell said in an afternoon news conference. "Either guys are going to [fix] it or we're going to have to put other guys in the game that have ball security."
The Vikings have lost seven fumbles, tied for the second most through three games since 2000, according to ESPN Stats & Information research. Quarterback Kirk Cousins has thrown two interceptions, one at the goal line and a second in the end zone that halted the Vikings' final possession with seven seconds remaining in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.
"We need to end every snap with the football in our hands," O'Connell said. "And that's going to be continued urgency and emphasis like it was last week and we're going to continue to do it, and do it differently, and emphasize in different ways until that value is received, because that is a losing formula as we've seen where we're at in the turnover differential."

Lame threats.
Start fining guys their game checks
Threats sometimes work with 5 yr olds.
Adults laugh off a 2nd yr HC tantrum threats.
Fine em. Let them go cry to the union.
Listening to Hockenson post game presser. On the heels of becoming the highest paid NFL TE. It was the very 1st thing that came to my mind.
Who the fk cares about "yeah, I gotta do better"
Words are cheap. Game checks are expensive.
Words are not accountability. They are wasted breath.
As long as saying the right think is acceptable "repentance"... turnovers will continue.
TJ fum les away the opening drive momentum, and whiffs on the game ending td catch.
His Week 4 game check should be donated to charity. Maybe to a firm that makes prosthetic hands for amputees. Itd be appropriate. AND the guy(TJ) will be shown what accountability actually is.
