Vikings quarterback Nick Mullens on benching: ‘I feel like I let the team down’

As he reflected on his game performance on Christmas Eve, veteran quarterback Nick Mullens fully understands why he’s no longer starting for the Vikings.“It’s pretty cut and dry,” he said. “You turn the ball over and probably aren’t going to be in the game.”That indeed is the case as Mullens officially has been benched for rookie quarterback Jaren Hall.The turnovers were the biggest issue for Mullens in his two games as the starter. He threw two interceptions in a 27-24 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, then four more in 30-24 loss to the Detroit Lions.In an honest assessment of himself, Mullens admitted, “I feel like I let the team down.”His final pass attempt against the Lions sticks with him because it should been a touchdown. If Mullens would have led star receiver Justin Jefferson with his throw near the Detroit goal line, the Vikings most likely would have won the game in dramatic fashion. Instead, safety Ifeatu Melifonwu swo...
