The Minnesota Vikings have surprised many with their 12-2 record this season, largely due to quarterback Sam Darnold's impressive performance. With a potential to command a hefty free-agent contract, Darnold's future with the team is uncertain, especially as they also drafted J.J. McCarthy as their franchise quarterback.

Darnold's play has kept the Vikings in playoff contention, boasting a completion rate over 67% and leading the eighth-best scoring offense. As the season progresses, how the Vikings navigate their quarterback situation remains a key focus.
