Vikings Name Rookie Jaren Hall as Starting Quarterback Amid Playoff Push

Star receiver Justin Jefferson advocates for injured Kirk Cousins' return in 2024 as Vikings aim for final NFC wild-card spot

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.
Head coach Kevin O'Connell has cited turnovers as a key issue in the team's recent performances, and hopes that Hall's appointment will bring more consistency to the team's offense.
The Vikings need to win their last two games and have either the Rams or the Seahawks lose once to secure the last wild-card spot in the NFC.
