The Minnesota Vikings have 11 games in the books in 2022, with a 9-2 record exiting Week 12.

First-year head coach Kevin O’Connell won for a ninth time in Week 12, thanks to a rebound victory over the New England Patriots on Thanksgiving. Next up, the Vikings remain at home to play the 7-4 New York Jets, the seventh seed in the AFC’s evolving playoff picture.
