The roadmap has finally taken shape for next season with the Minnesota Vikings’ 2022 NFL schedule being released on Thursday.
From the looks of the schedule, the road back to postseason contention for the Vikings will go through the AFC East and NFC East divisions, along with the NFC North.
Some of the more noteworthy games on the schedule is the Week 2 Monday Night Football doubleheader showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles on September 19. The team is also slated for a trip to London for an international matchup against the New Orleans Saints on October 2 in Week 4.
And surely, everyone’s calendar will have the Thanksgiving Day clash with the New England Patriots circled in red for November 24 in Week 12.
The Vikings failed to make the playoffs in the last two straight seasons under the watchful eye of former head coach Mike Zimmer and general manager Rick Spielman.
Those struggles led to a regime change with first-year general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and head coach Kevin O’Connell having their first official crack to turn things around.
Here is the complete 2022 NFL schedule for the Vikings.
