Back in Week 1, it took the Minnesota Vikings 10 offensive drives to score a touchdown with J.J. McCarthy as the team's starting quarterback. Against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, with Carson Wentz filling in under center for an injured McCarthy, the Vikings only needed one offensive drive to march down the field and score a touchdown.
Wentz's final numbers from Week 3 aren't going to earn him any awards (14-for-20, 173 pass yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions), but the offense seemed much more efficient with him in the starting lineup for Minnesota on Sunday.
In one game, Wentz has already led the Vikings' offense to more touchdown drives (four) than McCarthy did in the team's first two matchups combined (three).
