Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with a big question about the Vikings. How were all of our predictions (at least so far) wrong about them? Statistical models and the eye test suggested this was maybe a seven-win team. So far, they’re 4-0. Rand asked Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell what he saw in this team that the rest of us were missing, and the answer gets to the heart of their success.
