The Minnesota Vikings have benched quarterback Kyler Murray, replacing him with Kirk Cousins after a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders. Murray struggled to adapt to the Vikings system and is now a backup as the team aims to salvage its playoff hopes. In contrast, Cam Skattebo of the New York Giants is returning from injury just in time for a key matchup against the Washington Commanders. The Giants sit atop the NFC East and will rely on Skattebo's performance to enhance their playoff position. Meanwhile, rookie Fernando Mendoza will make his first start for the Raiders against the Seattle Seahawks following Cousins' departure.
