Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports.

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.
