This is the most absurd stat I’ve ever researched:
This is the Minnesota Vikings 18th quarterback switch since 2023 when Kirk Cousins went down with his Achilles injury.
That is a new quarterback every 3.5 games since Week 8 of 2023…
The switch consists of
Cousins➡️Hall➡️Dobbs➡️Mullens➡️
Hall➡️Mullens➡️Darnold➡️McCarthy➡️
Wentz➡️McCarthy➡️Brosmer➡️McCarthy➡️
Brosmer➡️McCarthy➡️Murray➡️Wentz➡️
Murray➡️Wentz

#Vikings QB Carson Wentz on Justin Jefferson:
“Just get him the rock. He’s as good as I’ve been around… I’m confident he’ll get his this week.”

What happened to the Vikings run defense in the second half against the Lions? Is it bad now? Will another team be able to replicate the success?
I broke it down in my latest for Wide Left.

S Harrison Smith will get his #Vikings Ring of Honor moment soon enough. But Monday belongs to former RB Adrian Peterson. Harrison was teammates with Adrian for five seasons. I caught up with Harrison the other day, talking Peterson's brilliance:

The latest from @FriesFootball: is the Vikings run defense really a weakness or did the Lions just have their moments? Matt Fries broke down the game to see if there was a crack in the foundation

By my count, Murray➡️Wentz is the Vikings' 14th in-season QB change in the last four seasons.

November 5, 1989
Vikings head coach Jerry Burns unleashes an epic, profanity-filled postgame rant and mic drop for the ages.
After a WIN, no less!

Justin Jefferson endured 2025 with a scowl.
He said all the right things. He toed the company line at every turn.
Sunday night’s silence was a statement. If now is not the time for offensive accountability among Vikings players and staff, then when?

#Vikings fans, definitely a lot to discuss with the offensive woes, QB options, JJ's frustration, trade deadline, brutal upcoming schedule, etc. Join us for some in-depth discussion and lively debates:

Bills week! Back in ‘75, we went to Buffalo and won 35-13 in the snow. I scored four touchdowns before a snowball from the stands caught me in the eye and knocked me out of the game. One of the most memorable days of my career. SKOL!

I really thought this would be an element of the Vikings' offense this year that gave them an advantage with Frank Smith's hiring. Definitely more runs with motion. But not a significant number, and lack of efficiency speaks for itself here.

You can make a pretty compelling argument that the Vikings should be aggressive buyers before next Tuesday.
You can also make a pretty compelling case that they should hold onto their picks.
Here's what I would do if I were Nolan Teasley: bringmethenews.com/minnesota…

WHOLESOME: #Vikings star safety Josh Metellus has posted a video showing fans how he spends his days off from football.
Metellus wakes up at 7 AM, takes care of his kids, drops his son off at school, and spends the day baking homemade sourdough bread.
He even makes a special jalapeño cheddar loaf for his wife.
This is awesome.
👏❤️

#Vikings QB Kyler Murray is ranked 36/38 among QB’s this season in terms of the amount of intermediate and deep throws attempted over the middle of the field, @alec_lewis mentioned via @VikingsHMA. He is only ahead of Tyler Shough and Marcus Mariota (min 50 passes).

I've been a pretty big defender of Kevin O'Connell's offensive system throughout his tenure. After Wes Phillips' comments on Tuesday, I've shifted my stance.
Something has to change, and "it's about execution" isn't good enough anymore.
