Quick Summary

The Minnesota Vikings will start Carson Wentz instead of Kyler Murray against the Buffalo Bills due to Murray's hamstring injury. With a completion rate and quarterback rating lower than any point in his career, Murray has struggled despite playing with talented teammates; he hasn't scored a rushing touchdown this season either. Wentz previously led a comeback victory over the Packers, throwing for 133 yards and three touchdowns in one quarter. The team's decision to bench Murray comes amid speculation about potential quarterback trades as star receiver Justin Jefferson is also underperforming with just 335 receiving yards so far this season.
