Through 15 games this season, the Minnesota Vikings are 13-2. The team has won eight straight games and still has a chance at the #1 seed in the NFC playoffs. Minnesota has talented players on offense but the team made a massive change at QB this season. They parted ways with veteran Kirk Cousins and signed Sam Darnold to a one-year deal.
Darnold and the Vikings are thriving in 2024 and a ton of credit is due to head coach Kevin O’Connell. He’s brought out the best in Sam Darnold this season and has him playing the best football of his career. With a 27-24 win vs. Seattle in Week 16, the Vikings secured their second 13-win season in three years. Kevin O’Connell is the first head coach in Vikings history to have multiple 13-win seasons. Expect the 39-year-old head coach to get an extension this offseason.
