The Minnesota Vikings dealt with some unexpected adversity during their win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, and it sounds like head coach Kevin O’Connell believes it was not a coincidence.

Just before the Vikings started packing up, right tackle Brian O’Neill took the floor, flipping a game ball to O’Connell to recognize him for becoming the only head coach in franchise history to win at least 13 games more than once. The locker room erupted and appropriately mobbed their leader in celebration.

As Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold led his game-winning drive on Sunday in Seattle, he couldn't hear the voice of coach Kevin O'Connell in his helmet.

"Kevin O'Connell should be the unanimous Coach of the Year. This team was projected to be worse than the Chicago Bears in the offseason. Fast forward to now and they're 14-2 with Sam Darnold at QB. This might be the best coaching job of the decade. #SKOL," said Femi Abebefe, a Sirius XM host.

Kevin O'Connell made clear Monday that he wants to continue as the Minnesota Vikings' head coach, even as his contract status has reportedly spurred interest from other NFL teams in acquiring his services via trade.

A new report indicated the Vikings have received trade inquiries regarding head coach Kevin O'Connell. Could the Bears be one of those teams?

Kevin O'Connell on Monday shot down the idea that he might be traded away from the Minnesota Vikings, despite a report from Jay Glazer that multiple teams are showing interest in him.
