Pete Prisco shares his Power Rankings heading into Week 15 of the 2024 season

When will Sam Darnold turn back into Sam Darnold?

Just admit it, you've asked yourself that question this season as the Minnesota Vikings, led by the resurgence of Darnold, have surged to an 11-2 record to establish themselves as legitimate Super Bowl contenders.

Yes, the uber-aggressive defense, led by madman-coordinator Brian Flores, has done some amazing things on that side of the ball to get the Vikings to this point, but Darnold's play running the offense is every bit the reason why they sit one game behind the Detroit Lions in the NFC North.
