A team to watch today: the Minnesota Vikings. If you watched them on Monday night, you’ll know about their messy quarterback situation. Regular starter Kyler Murray is out with a hamstring injury; Carson Wentz, the 33-year-old veteran backup, was dreadful against the Bills, going 8-for-25 for 81 yards and three turnovers. His completion percentage was the worst by a quarterback with at least 10 attempts in a game this season.

Murray is considered week-to-week, but the offense has been mediocre even with him. Minnesota traded away JJ McCarthy, the player they had selected just two years ago with the No 10 overall pick, in September. The Vikings still have the NFL’s leading scoring defense, but their offense is an obvious weakness. After a 6-0 start, they have lost two straight.
