The Minnesota Vikings’ offensive woes continued in their 23-6 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football, as they totaled just 178 yards and 127 passing yards. To make matters worse, 58 of those passing yards came from Max Brosmer in garbage time; before that, Carson Wentz completed just 8-of-25 passes for just 81 yards, 0 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions.

While Wentz was awful on Monday, Kyler Murray hasn’t been much better, as he currently ranks 27th of 35 eligible quarterbacks in PFN’s QB Impact metric. After the Week 9 loss, Minnesota’s offense is currently ranked No. 30 in the NFL in PFN’s Offense Impact metric, and their passing attack is ranked 28th.

Despite their offensive shortcomings, the Vikings are 6-2 thanks to their league-best defense. With average QB play, this team could be a legitimate Super Bowl contender. With the 2026 NFL trade deadline less than 24 hours away, Pro Football Network asked our NFL analysts what the Vikings should do to solve their quarterback issues.

What Should Vikings Do to Address Their QB Issues Ahead of NFL Trade Deadline?

“Perhaps Minnesota increases their offer for Cousins after Carson Wentz’s ugly MNF performance, but it takes two teams to trade, so the Vikings may be out of luck. The decision to let Sam Darnold walk continues to haunt this team, and they may just have to hope Kyler Murray improves once he’s healthy and gets more comfortable in Kevin O’Connell’s system (or that Max Brosmer can surprise everyone and exceed expectations).”
