Wentz → take → least

caller → look → start
Wentz was handed the keys to the Vikings' offense after the team announced that Kyler Murray was dealing with a hamstring injury that head coach Kevin O’Connell described as a "week-to-week kind of thing."

He → manage → interceptions
When your interception total is one-quarter of your completed passes total, things are bad, very bad.

things → complete → total
Wentz finished the contest with a passer rating of 8.9, which is the lowest by any player with at least 25 pass attempts since Sam Darnold posted a 3.6 passer rating against the New England Patriots in 2019, according to ESPN.
ESPN broadcaster Troy Aikman was even left bewildered at how the Vikings' offense has performed since Sam Darnold departed for the Seattle Seahawks.
"Just think how prolific this offense was a couple of years ago in 2024," he said.
uncertain
he → finish → 2024
"I know the last couple of games, the Week 18 game, with Sam Darnold wasn’t great.
asserted
couple → know → Darnold
They finish out 14-3.
asserted
They → finish → ?
Because they lose that game to Detroit, they gotta go play in the wild card game.
asserted
they → lose → game
Doesn’t go well in L.A., they lose that game, but this was a prolific offense and they’ve been a shell of themselves ever since."
asserted
they → go → themselves
Maybe the most alarming statistic from the disaster is that Wentz completed just 36% of his pass attempts when he was not pressured, which is the worst mark of the current NFL season.
asserted
which → complete → season
It's also worth pointing out that Wentz's disaster came against a bad Bills pass defense, with Buffalo allowing the fourth-most passing yards in the league per game at 238.8 yards per contest.
asserted
Buffalo → point → contest
If the Vikings turn to Wentz again this upcoming Sunday, things may get even uglier on a trip to Green Bay to take on a Packers defense that is far more disruptive than what he saw against the Bills.
uncertain
he → turn → Bills
