- Nick Mullens, Joshua Dobbs and Jaren Hall were unable to lead the team back into the postseason after Kirk Cousins suffered a torn Achilles tendon.
- Mullens completed 30 of 44 passes for 396 yards and two touchdowns in the final game, but two late interceptions ended any chance of a late rally.
- Mullens, in five appearances, showed a big arm with an average completion of 13.1 yards and threw seven touchdown passes in only 148 attempts.
- Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell said the team needs to evaluate every aspect of their performance after going from a division title to a losing record.
