Head coach Kevin O'Connell wouldn't directly answer whether the Minnesota Vikings would consider trading for a quarterback after Monday's 23-6 loss to the Buffalo Bills with the trade deadline set for 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday.
"I'll defer to (general manager) Nolan (Teasley) on that," O'Connell said, per NFL Network. "We've had dialogue about a lot of different positions. Tight turnaround, obviously, playing the Monday night game before (the deadline), and we'll get right to work on any potential moves that can be there. But really just focused on the game tonight, which was not good enough in any way, shape, or form."
Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz completed 8 of 25 attempts for 81 yards and two interceptions Monday. Kyler Murray missed the game due to a hamstring injury and is week-to-week.
Minnesota fell to 31st in passing yards per game (162.3), ranked ahead of only the Tampa Bay Buccaneers - who didn't complete a single pass in their Week 8 win over the Atlanta Falcons.
Murray has thrown for 1,022 yards and five touchdowns with three interceptions. He's completed 64.9% of his pass attempts.
The Indianapolis Colts reportedly informed quarterback Daniel Jones that he won't be traded before the deadline. The Vikings were considered a potential suitor.
Minnesota is third in the NFC North at 6-2.
