From the article

The Vikings, as we've mentioned, have won their first two games of the season, mostly behind backup quarterback Carson Wentz. Wentz entered the season opener against the Green Bay Packers in the first quarter after Kyler Murray went out with a concussion and helped rally the team to a 39-22 victory. Last week in Chicago, the offense had its issues again, but the defense more than carried the load and ensured that three field goals from Will Reichard were enough to hold up as the Vikings got their seventh straight win in Chicago and their seventh straight win going back to last season, winning 9-3.
