Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell drops F-bomb during live TV interview in preseason bout vs Patriots

T.J. Hockenson dished on the "insane" arm talent he's seen from new QB J.J. McCarthy, and how he can "flip a switch" when he gets on the field with his teammates.

Minnesota Vikings’ Kevin O’Connell gave a perfect example as to why NFL head coaches are not mic’d up on gameday. 

While other professional sporting events have mic’d up moments during live broadcasts, the NFL usually saves time for potential edits with that because of some, well, fruitful language. 

But with the NFL in the midst of preseason, the Vikings’ broadcast decided to mic’d up O’Connell to provide some more entertainment for the fans watching at home. However, the live interview led to an F-bomb being dropped by the Vikings’ lead man.

During the third quarter in the game between the Vikings and New England Patriots, O’Connell was on the Fox 9 broadcast when he was answering a question while watching a play unfold. 

He didn’t think of censoring himself after seeing something he didn’t like.

"I’m excited about this year’s team and excited about this play-call, fellas," O’Connell told the broadcasters. "We’ve got a fast-motion…Oh no! F--- … It’s coming back."

The reason for O’Connell’s expletive was noticing illegal motion at the line of scrimmage before the ball was even snapped. So, though the play would’ve gotten the Vikings a first down, it was called back for the penalty instead.
