Vikings struggle with Carson Wentz as trade rumors for Kirk Cousins arise

Summary

The Minnesota Vikings are facing challenges with quarterback Carson Wentz during their game against the Buffalo Bills. In the first half, Wentz completed only 7 of 17 passes for 75 yards and a passer rating of 54.8. Former NFL player Booger McFarland suggested the Vikings should trade a first-round pick for Kirk Cousins from the Las Vegas Raiders, citing Cousins' previous success with the team. As the Vikings defense performed well, sacking Bills quarterback Josh Allen three times, it raised questions about the team's offensive struggles. Cousins commented on trade speculation, expressing his commitment to his current team.
