Week 8 of the 2025 NFL season kicks off tonight with a game featuring the Minnesota Vikings and the Los Angeles Chargers.
Before the game, Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell confirmed that Carson Wentz will be the starting quarterback for the fifth consecutive game. This decision comes as JJ McCarthy, the usual starter, is still recovering from an ankle injury and has been limited in practice.
The Vikings, who currently have a 3-3 record, haven’t managed to win two games in a row this season. Last week, they suffered a 28-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. On the other side, the Chargers began the season strong with a 3-0 record but have since lost three of their last four games, bringing their overall record to 4-3. A win for them tonight could put them back into playoff discussions.
