Minnesota Vikings 2022 Season Preview
The Minnesota Vikings moved on from head coach Mike Zimmer this offseason and brought in Kevin O’Connell from the Los Angeles Rams.
O’Connell served as the offensive coordinators for the Rams last season when the team won Super Bowl LVI. The Vikings hope that O’Connell can bring similar success to Minnesota.
Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins enters his fifth season with the team. Cousins notably arrived amid hopes for a Super Bowl run in 2018, but he has only delivered one playoff win at this point.
While Cousins hasn’t led the Vikings to the Lombardi Trophy yet, he has piled on the offense — especially the past two years with more than 4,000 yards passing and 33 or more touchdowns. He has a host of talented skill players around him to keep the success going in 2022.
Minnesota looks to get back on track defensively, which faded in Zimmer’s final three years with the team. The Vikings made key moves in the offseason with hopes to look more like the record-setting unit in 2017 versus the recent decline.
Even if the Vikings put everything together in terms of execution this season, the NFC North Division looks as tough as ever. The Green Bay Packers have quarterback Aaron Rodgers back. The Chicago Bears look to improve with second-year quarterback Justin Fields, and the Vikings rarely win in Chicago to begin with. The Detroit Lions look poised to improve significantly this season, too, with quarterback Jared Goff and prized rookie defensive lineman Aidan Hutchinson.
Offensive Outlook
Cousins can rely on running back Dalvin Cook again to produce big yardage on the ground this season. Cook rushed for 1,159 yards and six touchdowns last season.
Wide receiver Justin Jefferson emerged as one of the best young wideouts in the league last year. The former LSU star caught 108 passes for 1,616 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Adam Thielen can still play. He caught 67 passes for 726 yards and 10 touchdowns last year.
Tight end Irv Smith Jr. returns from injury, which could make a big difference in the Vikings’ passing game. Smith caught 90 passes for 676 yards and seven touchdowns in his first two full seasons with the team.
Defensive Outlook
The Vikings have key players back such as linebacker Danielle Hunter and safety Harrison Smith. Minnesota adding nose tackle Harrison Phillips and linebacker Jordan Hicks could help.
Special Teams Outlook
Kicker Greg Joseph will be looked to for producing points, and punter Ryan Wright can help the field position game. Jalen Reagor will return punts, and Kene Nwangu will return kicks.
