Vikings' QB Crisis and Defense Shine | Minnesota Vikings News

The Minnesota Vikings’ 2023 season was a rollercoaster: they finished 9-8, missed the playoffs, and their QB carousel—JJ McCarthy, Carson Wentz, Max Brosmer—was chaos, with McCarthy throwing 21 interceptions. Yet, they won five straight games and were led by a surprisingly stout defense, ranked third in yards allowed, anchored by Dallas Turner’s 8 sacks and veteran Harrison Smith’s all-around excellence. With Justin Jefferson struggling due to QB woes but still a top-tier target, the key to next season’s success hinges on fixing the quarterback position—either McCarthy or Kyler Murray must step up. Oddsmakers don’t see them as division contenders, but if they can contain Jefferson against Washington’s young secondary, it could be a turning point for the franchise.
