The repair list goes beyond quarterback

Minnesota has lost two straight after a 6-0 start. Monday marked its third game without a touchdown this season, and the offense managed only 178 total yards while going 0-for-8 on third down. For a 6-2 team, Minnesota is making touchdowns look awfully optional. Source Source

Aaron Jones Sr. and Jordan Mason combined for 11 carries among Minnesota’s 46 offensive plays. “I should have run the football more,” O’Connell said, according to ESPN. Source

“We’ve got to find ways to simplify it,” Justin Jefferson said of the offense, according to ESPN. Source

Wentz was filling in for Kyler Murray, who was sidelined with a hamstring injury. UPI reported that O’Connell planned to monitor Murray’s recovery and had not ruled him out for Week 10. Max Brosmer completed 6 of 7 passes for 58 yards in late relief Monday, though USA TODAY noted that Buffalo’s defense was playing less tightly by then. That late cameo is not a full-game audition.
