Best quotes

Here are some of the best and most noteworthy soundbites from the NFL on Thursday:

Kevin O’Connell on the Vikings’ quarterback competition between Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy: “The amount of plays [each QB will get] is really up to the group out on the field, and can you drive it against Brian Flores’s defense. And that could be a three-play drive or it could be an eight-play drive. ... The intent is to provide both guys with what they need throughout the competition, and ultimately to give us a chance to have a thorough understanding of exactly where we’re at, and what’s going to be the best thing for the Minnesota Vikings.”
