As the Minnesota Vikings make their final push through the end of the regular season and into the postseason, there is no mistaking that this season is a product of having good people to lead the team and manage the roster.
The Vikings at 12-2 with three games to play was beyond all expectations at the beginning of the season. Only 2% of DN voters had the Vikings winning 12+ games this season in a poll with my preseason forecast (I had the Vikings going 10-7). But from what we’ve heard from Kevin O’Connell, it wasn’t beyond his expectations from about midway through the offseason, despite what was being said outside of TCO Performance Center.
