Carson Wentz earns massive bonus following Vikings win

The Minnesota Vikings took down the Green Bay Packers, 39-22, on Sunday and Carson Wentz had three touchdowns passes for Minnesota. Anyone who missed the game may be terribly confused as to how Wentz ended up as the hero.

Kyler Murray won the starting job for Minnesota over the summer and threw an interception on his first pass of the game. He was then ruled out of the game with a concussion later in the first quarter following a vicious hit to the head.

Thus, it was Wentz's time to shine given he was the backup and J.J. McCarthy was the emergency third QB. He went on to pick up the win and also a massive bonus for his efforts as well.
