What happened: BMac of @BMac_SportsTalk says Carson Wentz gives the Vikings a better chance to win right now than Kyler Murray. "I don't think Carson Wentz is the answer for the future, but for right now I think he gives them more structure," he said. Murray is listed questionable with a hamstring issue and is undergoing a full evaluation, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Why it matters: Minnesota is 6-1 but fell 19-15 at Detroit on Sunday, its first loss since its record reached 6-0. The quarterback question has followed that result, with the Vikings having already been linked to a Daniel Jones trade after the loss.

By the numbers: Murray: 100 of 154 for 1,022 yards, 5 TD, 3 INT in 2026 through 6 games. Wentz: 23 of 39 for 276 yards, 3 TD in 2026 through 2 games. Vikings: 6-1 in 2026 through 7 games, seed 2.

What to watch: Murray's evaluation and his final status will determine who starts for Minnesota next.
