We’ve all heard this line hundreds of times: The NFL is a week-to-week league.
The Minnesota Vikings and their fans should be taking that old cliche to heart. It’s been a long week, to say the least, and Sunday’s home game against the Cincinnati Bengals can't come soon enough.
With starter J.J. McCarthy bruised, battered, and now nursing a high-ankle sprain, the Vikings are preparing veteran Carson Wentz to take over at quarterback, presumably for the short term. While not ideal, that’s the least of Minnesota's problems entering Week 3.
The revamped offensive line has been atrocious, ranking dead-last in pass protection by the analysts over at The 33rd Team, and desperately needs left tackle Christian Darrisaw back.
