Kevin O’Connell’s silence on Vikings QB situation speaks louder than any answer

It's sure beginning to feel more like the Minnesota Vikings potentially have a quarterback controversy on their hands. especially after head coach Kevin O'Connell possibly poured gasoline on the speculation following the team's 21-17 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.

O'Connell has assured that 2024 first-round pick J.J. McCarthy won't reclaim the reins from Carson Wentz until fully recovered from a high-ankle sprain -- until now. The reigning Coach of the Year took a different tone during his postgame press conference in London when asked about Minnesota's situation under center.

What O'Connell did (or didn't) say after Sunday's game in response to whether Minnesota's starting signal-caller gig has become Carson Wentz's "job to lose" speaks volumes.
