In the final seconds of the Los Angeles Chargers' victory over the Minnesota Vikings, the Vikings attempted to line up and quick-snap the Chargers to score the winning touchdown. However, the crowd noise at U.S. Bank Stadium was so loud that quarterback Kirk Cousins couldn't hear the play call from coach Kevin O'Connell. As a result, precious time ran off the clock and the Vikings' play ended with an interception, sealing the Chargers' win. The Vikings have now lost all three one-score games they have played in 2023.
