Vikings RB Ty Chandler earns 'featured' role in offense after career-best performance vs. Bengals

Posted Dec 22, 2023
Running back Ty Chandler will be a "featured" part of the Vikings offense moving forward, head coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday, after Chandler's breakout game in Cincinnati. In his first NFL start Saturday, Chandler had a career-high 132 rushing yards — the most by a Vikings player under O'Connell — and apparently earned a featured role. (Minneapolis Star Tribune)
