Darnold's crosser success vs. Seattle shows path to attack Chargers' weak pass defense.

Sam Darnold successfully attacked Seattle's zone coverage with crossers against the Chargers, hitting the exact throw that Seattle's defense struggled to defend. Mina Kimes emphasizes this is the key to the Vikings' offensive success: Darnold must attack downfield against a Chargers defense that is better against the run than the pass.
