2024 Vikings Motion Passing Game

How the Vikings are creating big plays using motion in their passing game.

The Vikings are one of the early surprises in the 2024 season. After losing Kirk Cousins, there was a huge question if Sam Darnold could be the guy. So far he has shown to be up for the job.

Through 3 games Darnold sits with the second-best QBR in the league and 5th in yards per attempt.

Kevin O’Connell is a top-tier offensive coordinator and has been doing a great job of scheming his weapons open. O’Connell has been using motion to give his receivers a running start into concepts.

Knowing that all eyes are on Justin Jefferson, he knows he needs to find ways to get him into 1 on 1 situations. Using this motion causes stress on the secondary, making it tougher to bracket.
