The Minnesota Vikings have 12 games in the books in 2022, with a 10-2 record exiting Week 13.

First-year head coach Kevin O’Connell won for a 10th time in Week 13, thanks to a gritty victory over the then-7-4 New York Jets. Next up, the Vikings hit the road to play the 5-7 Detroit Lions, the ninth seed in the NFC’s evolving playoff picture. Detroit has an 8% of reaching the postseason, per FiveThirtyEight.com.
