The Minnesota Vikings (6-2) have begun contacting teams about acquiring a quarterback before Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The move follows Monday's 23-6 loss to the Buffalo Bills, where the Vikings failed to score a touchdown for the third time this season.
Carson Wentz completed just 8 of 25 passes for 81 yards with two interceptions, posting a 2.3 QBR — the lowest for any quarterback this season and the worst by a Vikings passer since Tarvaris Jackson's 1.8 in 2006. Minnesota also has Kyler Murray and Max Brosmer on the roster.
Coach Kevin O'Connell acknowledged "dialogue about a lot of different positions" but emphasized focus on the game. The Vikings' 11 touchdowns are tied with the winless Los Angeles Chargers, making them the first team since 1925 with at least six wins and three touchdown-less games in their first eight contests.
