The Vikings 2022 Offense by the Numbers: After Week 16

Each week, VikingsTerritory tracks the 2022 Minnesota Vikings offense by the numbers. This is the after-Week-16 edition.

The Vikings have 15 games in the books in 2022, with a 12-3 record exiting Week 16.

First-year head coach Kevin O’Connell won for the 12th time in Week 16, thanks to a walkoff field goal from Greg Joseph. Next up, the Vikings hit the road to play the 7-8 Green Bay Packers, the 10th seed in the NFC’s playoff chase. Green Bay has a 27% of reaching the postseason, per FiveThirtyEight.com.

The Vikings are three-point underdogs against the Packers, a team that defeated the Miami Dolphins on Christmas courtesy of bizarre Tua Tagovailoa interceptions. If the Packers beat the Vikings in Week 17 and the Detroit Lions in Week 18, they have a very real shot at the postseason.
