  • Minnesota Vikings have named rookie Jaren Hall as their starting quarterback for the final two games of the season, replacing Nick Mullens after his six interceptions in two games led to defeat.
  • Vikings' star receiver Justin Jefferson has expressed his support for injured quarterback Kirk Cousins, advocating for his return to the team in 2024.
  • The Vikings are currently one game behind the Los Angeles Rams and the Seattle Seahawks in the race for the final NFC wild-card spots.
