{"id":2278,"section":"sports","section_label":"Sports","url":"https://www.brokenews.co/sports/2278","headline":"Carson Wentz's awful night sinks Vikings against Bills","dek":"Wentz completed just 8 of 25 passes for 81 yards and two interceptions as Minnesota fell 23-6 on Monday night.","body":"The Minnesota Vikings suffered just their second loss of the season on Monday night, falling 23-6 to Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. The Vikings defense has carried the team for most of the year and entered the week as arguably the best unit in football, but it could not make up for a historically bad night from under center.\n\nCarson Wentz, filling in for an injured Kyler Murray, finished 8 of 25 for just 81 yards with two interceptions before being pulled late in the fourth quarter. Wentz himself called the performance pretty terrible afterward, and the reaction across sports media was not much kinder, with observers pointing to open receivers he missed throughout the night.\n\nRussell Wilson weighed in on the ‘Set, Hut!’ podcast, calling Justin Jefferson arguably the best receiver in football and saying he was surprised at how much Wentz seemed to get in his own head trying to get him the ball. Troy Aikman also made clear he had seen enough during the broadcast.\n\nThe loss leaves the Vikings to figure out their quarterback situation while they wait for Murray to return from injury.","published_at":"2026-11-11T23:33:22.872608+00:00","source_count":4,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Russell Wilson shares what he found ‘surprising’ about Carson Wentz’s performance vs Buffalo Bills","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/russell-wilson-shares-found-surprising-134500419.html"},{"outlet":"Pro Football Talk","publisher":"NBC Sports","title":"Carson Wentz: This one felt pretty terrible","url":"https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/carson-wentz-this-one-felt-pretty-terrible"},{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"Troy Aikman had seen enough of Carson Wentz’s historically bad Vikings outing on ‘MNF’","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/11/10/sports/troy-aikman-had-seen-enough-of-carson-wentzs-historically-bad-vikings-outing-on-mnf/"},{"outlet":"Awful Announcing","publisher":"Awful Announcing","title":"Sports media world appalled by Carson Wentz’s awful play","url":"https://awfulannouncing.com/nfl/sports-media-world-reacts-carson-wentzs-awful-play.html"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"All-time Carson Wentz stinker dooms Vikings in ugly MNF loss to Bills","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/time-carson-wentz-stinker-dooms-043135397.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Sports media world appalled by Carson Wentz’s awful play","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/sports-media-world-appalled-carson-045709172.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Vikings QB Carson Wentz’s night keeps getting worse with another MNF interception vs. the Bills","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/vikings-qb-carson-wentz-night-050448293.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"‘Like Rudy Gobert’ – NFL fans ruthlessly call out major Minnesota Vikings flaw after MNF loss","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/rudy-gobert-nfl-fans-ruthlessly-055602706.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"‘Fireable offence’ – Vikings fans regret trading J.J.
