Vikings' Carson Wentz Drops Honest Quote After Being on Wrong Side of NFL History With Rare Stat

Carson Wentz didn't even try to mince words about his performance in the Minnesota Vikings' 23-6 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football.

Speaking to reporters after throwing for 81 yards and two interceptions, Wentz described it as a "pretty terrible" outing for him.

"I haven't had many starts over the last couple of years in general, but this one felt pretty terrible," Wentz said.

Wentz completed just eight of his 25 attempts against Buffalo. ESPN added more context to how dire this game was, including him posting the worst passer rating by any quarterback since the infamous Sam Darnold "seeing ghosts" performance against the New England Patriots in 2019.

Wentz's completion percentage of 32.0 was the worst by a quarterback in a game this season with at least 10 attempts.

The Vikings started Wentz against Buffalo with Kyler Murray ruled out due to a hamstring injury suffered in Week 8.

There was some hope that Wentz could provide a boost to the passing game because he was at least able to push the ball downfield in his two appearances earlier in the season.

Two of Justin Jefferson's four touchdowns this season came in Week 1 after Wentz came in for an injured Murray.

Instead, Wentz played one of the worst games by a quarterback all season. The six points were the fewest for the Vikings since a 26-0 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 13 last season when Max Brosmer started.

The Vikings have been rumored to be in the market for a quarterback ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. The combination of Murray's injury and Wentz's struggles could lead them to get even more aggressive.

Minnesota has lost back-to-back games after a 6-0 start. As if things weren't bad enough coming out of Monday night, its next two games are on the road against the Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers.
