It didn’t take very long for something unpredictable to happen to the Minnesota Vikings this year. Before training camp even began, the Vikings were delivered with the news of offensive coordinator Tony Sparano suddenly passing away.
Little did Minnesota know, it was the first of many unexpected happenings that the team has endured during the 2018 season.
Since Sparano’s passing, the Vikings have cut their starting kicker, defensive end Everson Griffen missed a quarter of the season to improve his mental health, the team’s top 2018 draft pick suffered a torn ACL, and offensive coordinator John DeFilippo was fired 13 games into his tenure with the franchise.
