The NFL is handing out a punishment to one Minnesota Vikings player right after the brutal Los Angeles Chargers matchup.

Carson Wentz took a beating against the Chargers. As the future of the Vikings looked on from the sidelines, Wentz was allowed to fail on Thursday.

The Chargers have depleted their draft capital. Currently Los Angeles has only five selections in the 2026 NFL draft. They traded a seventh-round pick for defensive back Elijah Molden to the Tennessee Titans in 2024 and just sent the Ravens their fifth-round pick in the Oweh trade.

Justin Herbert is one of the best gunslingers in football when facing the blitz, and we expect the Chargers pivot to shine alongside slot wideout Ladd McConkey when they take the field in prime time.
