The Minnesota Vikings have eight games in the books in 2022, with a 7-1 record exiting Week 9.

First-year head coach Kevin O’Connell won for a seventh time in Week 9, thanks to a tremendous Vikings defense and clutch offensive performance in the 4th Quarter. Next up, the Vikings travel to the 6-2 Buffalo Bills, who will either have Josh Allen or Case Keenum at quarterback. Allen hurt his elbow against the New York Jets last weekend.
