With starting quarterback Kyler Murray sidelined due to a hamstring injury, Carson Wentz received another opportunity to take charge of the Minnesota Vikings' offense on Monday Night Football. However, the veteran signal-caller failed to find his rhythm against Buffalo Bills’ defense, as Minnesota ultimately suffered a 6-23 loss.
It turned into a night Wentz would rather forget, as he recorded the lowest QBR by any player since 2019. The veteran quarterback completed just 8 of his 25 pass attempts for 81 yards while throwing two interceptions.
Phil Mackey of SKOR North – Minnesota Sports reported that Wentz finished the game with a passer rating of just 8.9. According to Stathead, that mark ranks as the second-lowest single-game passer rating in Vikings history among starting quarterbacks who attempted at least 20 passes.
