Kyler Murray Set to Start as Vikings' Ninth Quarterback Since 2023

Kyler Murray is scheduled to make his first start for the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, becoming the ninth quarterback to do so since 2023.

This number ties the Vikings with the Cleveland Browns for the most starting quarterbacks in the NFL during this period. The Browns have had 42 different starters since their return to the league in 1999, while no other team has exceeded 30.

In 2022, Kirk Cousins was the sole starter for all 17 regular-season games, but after suffering an Achilles injury in 2023, the Vikings have seen multiple quarterbacks take the field, including Jaren Hall, Joshua Dobbs, and others. The team hopes that Murray can replicate the success of previous seasons where consistent starting led to playoff appearances.
