Five extra points: Carson Wentz’s ugly night ranks among Vikings’ worst QB showings

1. Carson Wentz’s passer rating tells a brutal story Fans actually cheered for Carson Wentz before Monday night’s 23-6 debacle against Buffalo at U.S. Bank Stadium. That’s because they were fed up with Kyler Murray’s inaccuracy the previous two weeks, when he completed only 58.5% of his passes. Murray’s bum hamstring kept him from playing Monday night. So Pro Football Reference still has his “bad throw percentage” at 16.8%, fifth-worst in the league. Wentz was supposed to improve upon that. Advertisement Well … He threw 25 passes. According to this reporter’s eyeballs, and probably the entire nation’s as well, Wentz had 17 bad throws. That’s a bad-throw percentage of 68%. He completed eight passes. In the second half, he completed more balls to the Bills (two) than the Vikings (one). And the Bills dropped what would have been a third interception or, actually, a fourth if you count another surefire interception they dropped in the first half. “It wasn’t one of my favorite performances,” said Wentz, who was mercifully benched with 4:40 left, giving way to Max Brosmer, who, by the way, threw only one bad pass, completing 6 of 7 with a passer rating of 101.2.
