Overview
- Buffalo improved to 7-1 with a 23-6 road win on Tuesday as Josh Allen passed for 234 yards and James Cook rushed for 107 yards and scored the go-ahead touchdown.
- The Bills’ defense dominated the game by limiting Minnesota to six points and repeatedly disrupting the Vikings’ offense.
- Vikings backup Carson Wentz completed only eight passes, threw two interceptions, lost a fumble, and was benched late in the game.
- With starter Kyler Murray sidelined by a thigh injury, Minnesota’s coaching staff said they will definitely explore quarterback options before the trade deadline and Ian Rapoport named Kirk Cousins and Daniel Jones as possible targets.
- The result strengthens Buffalo’s hold on the AFC East and leaves Minnesota’s season outlook hinging on a short-term quarterback solution before the deadline and upcoming games against Green Bay.
