Overview
- Buffalo beat Minnesota 23-6 on Monday night, improving to 7-1 behind a stingy defense and efficient work from Josh Allen and James Cook.
- The Bills’ defense largely shut down the Vikings’ offense, limiting Minnesota to six points while Allen passed for 234 yards and Cook rushed for 107 yards and a fourth-quarter touchdown.
- Carson Wentz struggled badly, completing only eight passes, throwing two interceptions and losing a fumble in Monday night’s game before being treated and replaced late.
- Odell Beckham Jr. made a surprise Vikings debut after being elevated from the practice squad on game day, but his appearance did not change the outcome.
- With the trade deadline active on Tuesday, the Vikings are reported to be actively exploring quarterback options, including names cited by insiders, while the league prepares for the Munich Game next Sunday where German-American Amon‑Ra St. Brown will play.
