@NFLonCBS The defender should be suspended until Murray is cleared. What a dirty play. Unacceptable

@espn He’s so soft. Kid needs everything handed to him. Typical democrat

@NFLonCBS Typical Kyler always pretending to be hurt so he can go home and play COD

@UnderdogNFL MAKE THE CALL TO NINE

In his stead, Carson Wentz took over and went 6-of-10 for 79 yards and a touchdown to Justin Jefferson. However, he also had two sacks as the Vikings entered halftime down 10-16.
