Kevin O'Connell can't keep masking Vikings' quarterback chaos forever
Kevin O'Connell is keeping the Minnesota Vikings winning through another quarterback change, but the offense is paying for every reset. The coach, long celebrated for his quarterback whisperer reputation, has become awfully good at making Plan B work. Building something sustainable is proving harder than keeping the Vikings competitive.
Carson Wentz will start Monday against Buffalo while Kyler Murray sits with a hamstring strain. According to the Associated Press quarterback tally, that makes 17 injury- or performance-driven quarterback switches across 52 Vikings games since Kirk Cousins tore his Achilles in October 2023, including in-game changes. Somehow, Minnesota is 6-1.
