Wentz faults his performance after Vikings lose to Bills
The Minnesota quarterback posted an 8.9 passer rating, the season’s lowest in a game for a player with more than three pass attempts.
Carson Wentz took responsibility for failing to support Minnesota’s defense after the Vikings lost to the Bills. The quarterback managed 81 yards on 8 completions from 25 attempts, throwing two interceptions without a touchdown.
His 8.9 passer rating put the performance below every other quarterback’s single-game rating this season, excluding outings with three or fewer pass attempts.
In comments carried by the Associated Press, Wentz said Minnesota’s defense was capable of winning games if it received competent quarterback play, but acknowledged he had fallen short. He highlighted his struggles early in the game and credited the defense with another strong performance. Wentz said he could not pinpoint the reason for his difficulties.
