Vikings' Nick Mullens replaces Jaren Hall at QB in loss versus Packers
The Minnesota Vikings made yet another change at quarterback, but it was to no avail.
Nick Mullens replaced rookie Jaren Hall to begin the second half of Sunday night’s 33-10 loss to the Green Bay Packers.
Mullens started the previous two games but was benched after throwing a combined six interceptions in those contests. He didn’t throw any Sunday night, completing 13 of 22 passes for 113 yards and the Vikings’ only touchdown. Still, it made little matter as he took over facing a 23-3 halftime deficit.
Hall struggled to the tune of 5-of-10 passing for 67 yards, an interception and a woeful 32.1 passer rating in the opening half.
Minnesota had just five first downs in the first 30 minutes of play.
Head coach Kevin O’Connell, who’s started Hall, Josh Dobbs and Mullens since Kirk Cousins was lost for the season to an injury, was hoping to ignite his offense and made another switch under center, but it was all Packers in Week 17.
