The Minnesota Vikings are expected to offer head coach Kevin O'Connell a contract extension, per Dianna Russini of The Athletic.

"Meanwhile, O'Connell is a strong contender for the NFL Coach of the Year award after another stellar season with yet another quarterback. The expectation is that the Vikings will offer O'Connell a contract extension — 2025 is the final year of his current deal — though at this point, there have been no discussions."

O'Connell is in his third season leading the Vikings, who are 10-2 and fighting for the NFC North crown (and the conference's top playoff seed) this year.
