(Photo credit: Jeffrey Becker-Imagn Images)Carson Wentz is the starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings for at least another week, head coach Kevin O'Connell said a few minutes after celebrating a 48-10 win Sunday.
Wentz threw two TD passes and completed 14 of his 20 attempts in place of J.J. McCarthy, who is not expected to play in Week 4 when Minnesota (2-1) heads to Ireland to play the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Making a start for a sixth different team in the past six seasons, Wentz threw a TD pass to Josh Ollver to jump ahead 7-0.
McCarthy rallied the Vikings to a Week 1 win at Chicago after Minnesota fell behind 17-6.
O'Connell said that Wentz told him during the week of preparation at one point, 'Coach, the reason why I came here is this system.
