To the surprise of absolutely no one, the Minnesota Vikings are expected to stick with veteran Carson Wentz at quarterback for this week’s Thursday Night Football game against the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium.
This could be Wentz’s final bow, based on how the 32-year-old performed in Sunday’s 28-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
It’s never a good sign when the Vikings ask Wentz to throw the ball 46 times. In fact, Minnesota’s two losses this season with Wentz under center, to the Pittsburgh Steelers and Eagles, had one thing in common — over 40 pass attempts.
