Citing turnovers, Minnesota Vikings are benching Nick Mullens for rookie quarterback Jaren Hall for their crucial NFC North matchup against the Green Bay Packers according to Alec Lewis of The Athletic.

“We have to maintain possession of the football” head coach Kevin O’Connell told the media. Mullens started the last two games but threw six interceptions in that span.

Hall, a rookie fifth-round pick out of BYU, started the Nov. 5 win over the Falcons but had to exit the game early on after suffering a concussion. He was 5-of-6 for 78 yards to begin that contest. Hall also finished Minnesota’s Oct. 29 win over Green Bay when Kirk Cousins tore his Achilles.

The Vikings have started Hall, Mullens, and Josh Dobbs at quarterback since Cousins went down. Dobbs started out hot with Minnesota after arriving from the Cardinals at the trading deadline, but threw five interceptions in two games before he was rendered ineffective by Las Vegas’ defense in Minnesota’s 3-0 win on Dec. 10. Mullens finished that matchup and started the next two.
