In a disappointing performance against the Detroit Lions, Sam Darnold completed just 18 of 41 passes, resulting in a passer rating of 55.5.
Despite this setback, he was previously among the league's best, with a completion rate of 106.4 that ranked fifth in the NFL throughout the season.
Before the Lions game, Darnold excelled against the blitz, completing 62 of 87 passes for a passer rating of 144.0.
The Vikings failed to score a touchdown in multiple red-zone attempts, which is an outlier compared to Darnold's usual performance in those situations.
Looking ahead, Darnold must overcome this poor outing as he prepares for a wild-card matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.
