NFC North Rundown: Vikings hire a new head coach, Lions look to solidify their staff

With one final week and one final game remaining in the NFL season, fans are eagerly awaiting Super Bowl LVI on Sunday afternoon. Fans across the NFC North can watch the game with a little less anxiety this week, with many coaching searches having come to a highly-anticipated end.

Minnesota wrapped up its hunt this week, tabbing Kevin O’Connell to lead the franchise into a new era. The Vikings now have a choice to make at quarterback, but early reports suggest change is not imminent. Meanwhile, in Detroit, the Lions are attempting to hold on to their defensive assistants amid other coaching searches and are still on the prowl for an offensive coordinator of their own.
