Quick Summary

During Minnesota Vikings’ loss to the Buffalo Bills on "Monday Night Football," Carson Wentz had an exceptionally poor performance, completing only 8 out of 25 passes for 81 yards and two interceptions before being substituted in the fourth quarter. Analyst Troy Aikman expressed frustration over Wentz’s near-interception at the end of the third quarter, suggesting that even when he was hindered by a footstep from an opponent, his throw would likely have been intercepted. ESPN Insights reported that Wentz’s passer rating of 8.9 is the lowest for any quarterback with at least 25 pass attempts since Sam Darnold’s game against the Patriots in 2019.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
