The Minnesota Vikings have become a major talking point during the 2025 NFL season, but not necessarily for the right reasons after the NFC North team started out much slower than many football experts may have anticipated.

The Vikings will start Carson Wentz at QB against the L.A. Chargers Thursday night. J.J. McCarthy went through an on-field workout on Tuesday, and is not yet ready to play.

The Los Angeles Chargers dominated the Minnesota Vikings on "Thursday Night Football," with Justin Herbert throwing three touchdown passes in a commanding victory.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz gave what he had with his left shoulder in a brace and his right arm seemingly out of magic.
