PFF ranked all 32 offensive line units heading into Week 7. With Ryan Kelly and Brian O'Neill out, the Vikings' line is ranked 22nd. The team's offensive line has surrendered 52 pressures this season, including 12 sacks, across 179 pass plays. The resulting leading 82.1 PFF pass-blocking efficiency rating ranks 25th in the league through six weeks.

Minnesota finished 14-3 last season. The Vikings already have four losses this season after Thursday's listless performance in Los Angeles.

JJ McCarthy is regarded as the future of the Minnesota Vikings, but the quarterback has struggled to stay consistent and will not play in their Week 7 game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Vikings have lost by double digits ten times under O'Connell. Two of those ended their season, so there was nothing to bounce back from the following week. Of the eight times where they did play a game the next week, they've gone 6-2.
