Undefeated NFL QB Gets Brutally Called Out Ahead of Crucial Week 4 Matchup

One of the biggest surprises of the NFL this season has been the Minnesota Vikings going undefeated through the first three weeks. In Weeks 2 and 3, they played the San Francisco 49ers, two teams that are viewed as championship contenders. What's more surprising is that they're not just winning games, but they're blowing out their opponents.

Through three games, they have outscored their opponents 85-30. This is much thanks to quarterback Sam Darnold, who has been one of the best quarterbacks thus far this season.

This year, he has thrown for 657 yards and a league-leading eight touchdowns to just two interceptions. He has been incredibly impressive, especially for a player who was a big question mark heading into the season.

However, ahead of his Week 4 matchup with the Green Bay Packers, former NFL quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick called Darnold out on the Thursday Night Football post-game show, saying he would "turn into a punk" against the Packers.

While this game was already significant for Darnold and the Vikings, it became even more so after it was announced that Packers quarterback Jordan Love should be making his return to play.

Love hasn't played since Week 1, after going down with an injury with just seconds to go in the Packers' loss to the Eagles. His return couldn't be more timely, however, as the winner of this game could take full control of the division with a Lion's loss.

That said, this division rivalry could be the final test to see if Darnold and the Vikings are "legit." Though Fitzpatrick doesn't seem to think so, he's shown no signs of slowing down this season. It should be an exciting matchup regardless, as both quarterbacks can be a problem for opposing defenses.
