From the article

Brian Flores is a mad man…and we mean that in a good way. The Minnesota defensive coordinator sent blitzes on 74 percent(!) of the Packers' dropbacks and totally overwhelmed their offensive line late as the Vikings put together an impressive comeback win with backup quarterback Carson Wentz leading the offense.

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Wentz led Vikings comeback win but offers limited upside as backup QB.

Backup QB stepped in after starter Kyler Murray suffered a concussion in Week 1; led the Vikings to a 39-22 comeback win over the Packers with backup QB play. The Athletic notes Flores sent blitzes on 74% of Packers dropbacks to support the offense, while The Score cautions that 'Wentz, who stepped in after starter Kyler Murray suffered a concussion, doesn't offer much upside,' tempering expectations despite the Week 1 victory.
