Max Brosmer seized the Vikings' QB3 job with a bold third-quarter display, showing crisp ball placement and aggressive window testing that produced a six-play touchdown drive. Brett Rypien trailed, his late drive teetering. Sam Howell remains QB2 but inconsistency lingers. Miles Price flashed as a return option, while Adam Thielen’s potential market move looms, and Carolina chatter adds cut-day intrigue to Minnesota’s depth chart.
