Vikings fans look to Tom Brady to save their season

The Minnesota Vikings improved to 4-4 after starting the 2023 season 1-4. Then the Packers suffered disaster when Kirk Cousins ​​suffered an apparent Achilles injury.

Cousins ​​is now expected to miss the remainder of the season, while rookie Jalen Hall, injured Nick Mullens and practice squad veteran Sean Mannion are all available options for the Vikings this season. The outlook for the remainder of the tournament does not look promising.

Vikings fans need a hero. They waited for the hero until late at night. His name is Tom Brady.

Brady turned 46 on August 3. He retired in 2022 after leading the Buccaneers to an 8-9 record, which may have been his final retirement. Still, his third-most throwing yards in the league last season (more than Cousins) made him the subject of rumors about a return to action.

The problem is that Brady’s efficiency has dropped significantly. His touchdown rate was the lowest of any season starter in his career. His quarterback record is his worst.

Of course, there’s also the matter of his retirement. He has maintained throughout the offseason that he will not return to play football. He had gone back on his word in the past, but not after all this time.

Sorry Vikings fans, Brady won’t be coming. But actually, everyone knows this. They just enjoy it before their dreams are shattered.

The Vikings selected Hall in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft. He was Cousins’ backup to Mullens on IR. With the veteran not available until Week 10, Minnesota needs to figure out their quarterback plan quickly before Week 9. If they don’t contend with their current selection, the NFL’s trade deadline will come on Tuesday.
