Kevin O’Connell not committing to starting quarterback vs. Lions

O’Connell refused to name a starter ahead of the final regular season game

The Minnesota Vikings have not just started four quarterbacks during the course of the 2023 season but they each have gotten at least two starts.

After Sunday’s 33-10 loss to the Green Bay Packers where he pulled starting quarterback Jaren Hall for Nick Mullens, head coach Kevin O’Connell told the media after the game that he is not committing yet to a starting quarterback for their week 18 matchup against the Detroit Lions.

This is the third time that O’Connell has done that this season, doing so after losses against the Las Vegas Raiders and Lions. Each time he did, O’Connell announced the starting quarterback mid week.

Who will be the starter against the Lions? That remains to be seen, as all three quarterbacks have merit to get the start. Mullens looks to be the best option to get the win, Dobbs is a major changeup that could give a spark to the offense and Hall would be the choice if you want to keep learning about what he could be in the future.

That answer will come in time but don’t expect it quite yet.
