One of quarterback Sam Darnold’s 12 completions to lead the Vikings back from a 13-point deficit late in the third quarter of Sunday’s victory over the Arizona Cardinals might best illustrate the progress he’s made through 12 games leading the offense.

The stage was set for Sam Darnold on Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium. To silence all the doubters once and for all. To play hero. To win the game for the Vikings. With 3 minutes, 20 seconds remaining, Darnold walked onto the field knowing the Vikings needed a touchdown to beat the Arizona Cardinals.

Could the Vikings aim to re-sign the 27-year-old quarterback, who has played so well in leading them to a 10-2 record, this offseason?
