The Minnesota Vikings have started making calls around the league about trading for a quarterback ahead of Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
In Monday's 23-6 loss to the Buffalo Bills, the Vikings (6-2) failed to score a touchdown for the third time this season.
Carson Wentz completed only 8 of 25 passes for 81 yards while throwing two interceptions and having a third dropped. His 2.3 QBR was the lowest for any quarterback this season and the lowest by a Vikings quarterback since Tarvaris Jackson recorded a 1.8 QBR during a game in 2006.
The Vikings also have Kyler Murray and Max Brosmer on the roster.
"We've had dialogue about a lot of different positions," coach Kevin O'Connell said after Monday's loss when asked about the possibility of making a trade for a quarterback. "Tight turnaround, obviously, playing the Monday night game, and we'll get right to work on any potential moves that can be there. But really just focused on the game tonight, which was not good enough in any way, shape or form."
The Vikings' 11 touchdowns this season are tied with the winless Los Angeles Chargers. Minnesota is the first team to have at least six wins, and at least three games without a touchdown, over its first eight games of a season since 1925.
