The Vikings 2022 Offense by the Numbers: After Week 2

The Minnesota Vikings have two games in the books in 2022, with a 1-1 record heading into Week 3.
First-year head coach Kevin O’Connell lost for the first time, thanks to a humbling experience from the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football. Next up, the Vikings return home for a date with the upstart Detroit Lions.

The Vikings are early six-point favorites versus the Lions, despite the poor showing in Philadelphia. In fact, the national media panicked very little about the Vikings woes.
