=== Carson Wentz: Serviceable ===
Carson Wentz played the remainder of the game. He kept throwing the ball too far from his receivers but also too far from defenders, which Arif characterised as a low bar cleared adequately. He had a higher success rate than Murray's five-play sample. The Justin Jefferson free play — a direct result of an operational error that somehow resolved into everyone being on the same page — was cited as a flash of what a functional Vikings offence can produce. His two-point conversion attempt was one of his better throws of the day, which does not count in statistics. He was in visible pain multiple times.

The pre-snap chaos was discussed as a persistent issue across multiple quarterbacks and centres — Arif's conclusion: the Vikings need their actual centre to play centre, a requirement that has apparently not yet been fully implemented.
