THREE STORY LINES
O'Connell makes his debut
The last time the Vikings had a head coach trying to win his first regular-season game, they played in St. Louis, took the field with Matt Cassel as their starting quarterback and won behind 102 rushing yards from Cordarrelle Patterson while the Rams were focused on Adrian Peterson. On Sunday, Kevin O'Connell's regular-season debut comes on national TV, at home against the Vikings' biggest rival.
