Each week, VikingsTerritory tracks the 2022 Minnesota Vikings offense by the numbers. This is the after-Week-17 edition.

The Vikings have 16 games in the books in 2022, with a 12-4 record exiting Week 17.

First-year head coach Kevin O’Connell lost for the fourth time in Week 17, thanks to a dominating performance by the Green Bay Packers. Next up, the Vikings hit the road to play the 3-13 Chicago Bears, the 16th seed in the NFC. The Bears are now vying for respect and draft order placement.

The Vikings are 5.5-point favorites against the Bears, a team that lost to the Detroit Lions in Week 17. O’Connell plans to play all Vikings starters despite the team’s near-lock status to remain in the NFC’s No. 3 playoff seed.
