Kevin O’Connell forgot he was on television during the Minnesota Vikings preseason game against the New England Patriots. While he was mic’d up, he was talking to the Vikings’ broadcast crew, led by long time play-by-play man Paul Allen.

O’Connell did not abide by FCC regulations there! So unfortunately, this hilarious moment has to be labeled as a NSFW moment.

It occurred in the third quarter Saturday with the Vikings trailing 14-6. It looked like a good play, per O’Connell. But he dropped an f-bomb due to a penalty.

“I’m excited about this year’s team and excited about this play-call, fellas,” O’Connell said during the broadcast. “We’ve got a fast-motion… ohhh no, f*ck…”

Unless it’s a perfect season, that won’t be the last time that happens for O’Connell and the Vikings. Anybody would drop an f-bomb like that in the moment!

But going into 2025, McCarthy could stand out. There are sure to be growing pains, since it’ll be his first legitimate action.
