Vikings Turn to Nick Mullens as Quarterback for Final Game

Fifth quarterback change in nine games amidst struggle for playoff spot

Minnesota Vikings will start quarterback Nick Mullens in their final regular-season game against the Detroit Lions.
This is the fifth quarterback change in nine games for the Vikings, starting with the torn Achilles tendon for Kirk Cousins.
Mullens replaced rookie Jaren Hall after halftime in last week’s loss to Green Bay, after an interception and a fumble by Hall each set up a Packers touchdown.
Vikings quarterbacks have accounted for 26 turnovers this season, tied for the most in the NFL.
The Vikings still have a shot at making the playoffs, but they need to beat the Lions and have other games go their way.
