Who Should I Start? Tyler Huntley or Sam Howell

Monday, January 6, 10:00 AM

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tyler Huntley completed 25 of 41 passes for 227 yards, one passing touchdown, and two interceptions in the Week 18, 32-20 loss to the New York Jets. He also added three rushing attempts for 16 yards. This was a poor showing for the Dolphins all around, and admittedly, many were watching the scoreboard as the Denver Broncos were pummeling the Kansas City Chiefs, crushing their playoff hopes. After a promising performance last week against the Cleveland Browns, Huntley came back down to earth with two bad interceptions and several missed easy throws. Miami will now continue their playoff-winning drought to 24 years. It is unknown whether Huntley will return to the Dolphins, but he figures to be the backup quarterback when next season starts.

The Minnesota Vikings have acquired quarterback Sam Howell and the 172nd overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft from the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for the 142nd overall pick, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The Vikings were in need of a backup quarterback after a busy offseason that saw Sam Darnold depart in free agency, leaving J.J. McCarthy (knee) as the team's presumptive starter. Ironically, Darnold went to the Seahawks, and Seattle also drafted Jalen Milroe on Friday, leaving Howell as the odd man out. Now, he'll bring his experience and leadership to Minnesota. It's an important addition for the Vikings given that McCarthy, who was last year's first-round pick, has not played a regular-season snap yet. He should start Week 1 this season, but Howell will be next in line if McCarthy suffers another injury or struggles.
