Vikings QB makes some bad history with Week 9 performance
Carson Wentz was historically bad on Monday night against Buffalo.
The Minnesota Vikings suffered a second consecutive loss on Monday, falling to the Buffalo Bills with a score of 23-6. While their defense managed to contain Josh Allen and James Cook, the team's offense continued to falter. Quarterback Carson Wentz proved to be particularly ineffective, setting a new low for his performance. Wentz finished the game with a quarterback rating of 8.9, marking the lowest rating for a QB with at least 25 attempts since Sam Darnold's notorious 3.6 rating in 2019, famously dubbed the "seeing ghosts" game.
Faced with this poor showing, the Vikings acted swiftly before the trade deadline expired, acquiring Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins. Cousins is expected to make his first start for Minnesota in Sunday's matchup against the Green Bay Packers.
