Minnesota Vikings fans get their wish heading into crucial Monday Night Football game vs. Buffalo Bills

It’s honestly a little ridiculous that the Minnesota Vikings have been struggling so much at the quarterback position.

The one position that has the entire NFL paying attention to is quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings. Kyler Murray hasn’t been nearly good enough for this team, and being 6-1 makes this decision even more crucial.

If the Vikings want to find a way to make a Super Bowl run, they will need to get some form of stability at quarterback. It’s also the position that is much harder to replace during the season due to the nature of what they are asked to do.

Kyler Murray will miss Monday night’s game

The unfortunate news for Murray is the hamstring tightness he is dealing with, and it force him to him miss Monday night’s game against the Buffalo Bills.

Making a switch at quarterback could be what the offense needs, but with that change being Wentz, I’m far from convinced. He’s had the same issues as Murray without the ability to scramble. Are we sure that he’s going to be the answer?

At least it’s doing a little bit of something. We saw Justin Jefferson refuse to talk to reporters after Sunday’s game, sending a strong signal about how unhappy he is with the offense as currently constructed. Will this be enough? We don’t know that for sure, but Wentz at least feeds Jefferson the football consistently, which is always a good thing.

We won’t know if this will work, but doing something is arguably better than doing nothing. Monday night will be a must watch for the Vikings.
