"This is going to continue to become an interesting storyline. To date the Vikings and Sam Darnold haven't had any discussions aimed at a long-term contract extension," ESPN's Adam Schefter said Monday on The Pat McAfee Show, reiterating a point he made earlier in December about a lack of talks between the sides.

Right now, the focus for the Minnesota Vikings is on the immediate future of their 14-2 record going into Ford Field to take on the Detroit Lions. The game is the first-ever to be a winner-take-all for both a division title and the number one overall seed.

Now, the Lions are having the successful season that many expected them to have in 2024. And it’s the Vikings who are having the surprise season. Minnesota is 14-2 on the year, same as the Lions, entering the two teams’ winner-take-the-NFC game on Sunday night in Detroit.
