Daily Norseman on Kyler Murray

Murray makes first real start for 31st-ranked Vikings passing offense; conservative approach expected.

Kyler Murray returns from concussion protocol to make his first real start for the Vikings. The episode's central premise frames this as a critical test for Kevin O'Connell's offense, which ranks 31st in passing yards over the last 19 regular-season games with -0.5 EPA per play. Drew Bunting predicts a conservative approach early, saying: 'I think he's gonna take the same conservative approach, and then in the second half we'll be texting each other going, Can we let Kyler Murray throw it down the field?' The stakes are whether Murray can finally spark an offense that has cracked 200 passing yards only twice in the last 14 games.
