Mullens, fully recovered from an IR stint, steps in amid Dobbs' struggles, as Vikings eye NFC wild-card spot.

Overview

Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell has announced that Nick Mullens will replace Joshua Dobbs as the starting quarterback in Week 15 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Mullens stepped in for Dobbs in Week 14 against the Las Vegas Raiders, guiding the Vikings to a 3-0 victory.
