He led the Vikings to a 12-point comeback in the game's final 20 minutes when Kyler Murray got hurt in Week 1, then turned in a solid, turnover-free effort in his Week 2 start against the Bears, leading Minnesota to a shocking 9-3 win and a 2-0 start. This marks his 11th straight season with at least one start. He'll take a seat again with Murray expected to start in Week 3.
