NFL:
What does Howell’s performance against New England reveal about the Vikings’ offensive scheme and read progression in a backup role?
Qwiket AI:
The struggle highlights a potential misalignment between Howell’s skill set and the Vikings’ quick-decision reads under cap pressure. If the coaching staff wants a more development-ready backup, they’ll need a QB who can process quick options and exploit open targets, especially with limited protection. It also signals the urgency to test other options behind Cousins.
