“A lot of people have taken note of the start that we’re off to,” Kevin O'Connell said. “As I tell our guys every single time I get to stand in front of them, that means absolutely nothing.” Vikings (4-0) arrive in London to improve on a perfect record against Aaron Rodgers and New York Jets (2-2) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
“We’ve got to go out for four quarters this week and re-establish ourselves — our identity, our play style, our football philosophy — it’s got to be re-established on a week-in week-out basis,” O’Connell said. “That’s how you win consistently in this league.” He also said that the Vikings have been under pressure since the start of the season, having won all their regular-season games in London.
On February 16, 2022, just three days after his Super Bowl LVI victory, O'Connell was hired by the Minnesota Vikings as the 10th head coach in their franchise history. O'Connell's Vikings hiring reunited him with quarterback Kirk Cousins, whom O'Connell had coached in 2017. O'Connell won his first game as head coach against the Green Bay Packers in Week 1 of the 2022 season by a score of 23–7.
O'Connell played quarterback for the San Diego State Aztecs, and was selected by the New England Patriots in the third round of the 2008 NFL draft. O'Connell also played for the Detroit Lions, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets, and San Diego Chargers before retiring in 2012. O'Connell's NFL coaching career began in 2015; he held various assistant coaching roles on the Cleveland Browns, San Francisco 49ers, Washington Redskins, and Los Angeles Rams.
