The Minnesota Vikings will once again start quarterback Nick Mullens over Joshua Dobbs this week against the Detroit Lions.
Head coach Kevin O'Connell announced Monday that Mullens would be the starter for the second week in a row after Dobbs was replaced after four starts.
Mullens came in for Dobbs during the Vikings' 3-0 win over the Las Vegas Raiders amid Dobbs' struggles. The following week against the Cincinnati Bengals, Mullens was named the start over Dobbs.
In his first start, Mullens threw for 303 yards and two touchdowns, also throwing a pair of interceptions in the overtime loss.
