In the immediate aftermath of the Minnesota Vikings' ugly 23-7 loss to the New York Giants, it was fair to ponder whether the Josh Freeman experiment could cost some employees their jobs.
His staff made changes on the field, but owner Ziggy Wilf will stand pat. He has no plans for a midseason course change to the Vikings' ship.
"I'm sticking with my team," Wilf said after the game, per The Star Tribune. "That's our team. We're going to stick with it."
Wilf would have a lot of choices if he took a "heads will roll" stance after the game: From general manager Rick Spielman, who signed Freeman for $3 million; to coach Leslie Frazier, who decided to start a quarterback who hadn't been with the team a fortnight; to offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave, who called plays that led said quarterback to throw 53 passes while Adrian Peterson, the NFL's best running back, had just 13 carries.
Entering Monday night, Wilf thought it could be a game that would propel the Vikings' season forward.
"Tough loss," he said. "I thought we would come back here and pick up a win. But every loss is a tough loss."
