*On Thursday's podcast, Star Tribune Timberwolves writer Chris Hine will join me to set up a tough month of games for Minnesota. *I hope you have something in your life that you love as much as Patrick Reusse loves berating the Gophers men's basketball team for not scheduling St. *Also on Wednesday's podcast, Star Tribune columnist Chip Scoggins helped explain a very newsy stretch for Gophers football, including the departure of defensive coordinator Joe Rossi. Will Dobbs fall two spots on the depth chart? *An interesting aspect of the QB carousel: Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell did not name a backup QB for Saturday. Will Mullens start the last four games? Will Dobbs or Hall get another shot? Is there a scenario by which a fifth QB could get a start? Let's not rule anything out at this point. Even if they lose to the Bengals on Saturday but win their next two home games against the Lions and Packers, they will be virtual locks to make the playoffs as a wild card even if they lose their finale at Detroit. If the Vikings win their final four games, they will win the NFC North. The stated plan at the beginning of this season - let the always-durable Cousins provide above-average play for above-average pay - was derailed in Week 8 with his season-ending Achilles injury.īut a year that started 1-4 (with Cousins) and could have crumbled without him is instead very much alive at 7-6. The Vikings haven't had three QBs get at least one win since 1983, when Wade Wilson, Tommy Kramer and Steve Dils did it.Īnd of course the Vikings have never had a season with four starting QBs, and Mullens rather hilariously (probably not funny to the Vikings) will be the fourth starter in the past seven games. The New York Giants have activated quarterback Tyrod Taylor off injured reserve ahead of their Monday night game against the Green Bay Packers. Kirk Cousins (eight), Joshua Dobbs (four) and Jaren Hall (one) are already on the books, and all three have been credited with at least one victory (Hall started the Atlanta game and gets the win, even though Dobbs relieved early after Hall's injury). ![]() Assuming Nick Mullens - who on Tuesday was named the starter for Saturday's game against the Bengals - does indeed start that game, he will be the fourth different QB to start a game for the Vikings this season.
