It isn’t often that you see a team extremely effective in one-score games over the course of a season. Winning those games consistently is very unstable and isn’t something you can count on.
Well, nobody told the 2022 Minnesota Vikings.

With Saturday’s 27-24 win over the New York Giants, the Vikings won their 11th game in the 2022 season by one score and that sets an NFL Record. Before this season, only two teams in NFL history had won 10 such games in a season: the 2019 Seattle Seahawks who went 10-2 and the 1978 Houston Oilers who went 10-3.
You can’t count on the Vikings to win those games forever, but the work and focus that Kevin O’Connell’s staff has put into situational football is what has made the difference this season.
