What happened: Asked whether he has given any thought to acquiring a quarterback before the trade deadline, Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said, "I'll defer to Nolan on that." That is general manager Nolan Teasley, who holds the call on any move.
Why it matters: Minnesota fell to 6-2 with a 6-23 loss to Buffalo on Monday night. Werder reported that Carson Wentz's showing against the Bills adds pressure on the front office to trade for a quarterback.
By the numbers: Wentz is 23-of-39 for 276 yards in 2026 through 2 games.
What to watch: The trade deadline arrives Tuesday, with Teasley's decision on the quarterback market still to come.
