The Buffalo Bills beat the Minnesota Vikings 23-6 on Monday Night Football at U.S. Bank Stadium on Nov. 9, improving to 7-1 while the Vikings fell to 6-2, according to ESPN's game recap. Carson Wentz, starting in place of injured Kyler Murray, struggled badly, completing 8 of 25 passes for 81 yards with three turnovers, including an interception by Buffalo's Terrel Bernard and a high backward pass that resulted in a lost fumble near midfield. He was replaced by Max Brosmer late in the fourth quarter.
Bills quarterback Josh Allen threw a go-ahead touchdown to tight end Keleki Latu with 44 seconds left in the first half, and running back James Cook carried 31 times for 107 yards and a late touchdown to seal the win. Minnesota's offense managed only field goals all game, and the loss was its second straight, intensifying scrutiny of the team's quarterback situation just before the NFL trade deadline.
The result matched Buffalo's best start to a season since 1993.
The Predict Six community had given Minnesota only 20% odds of winning, correctly anticipating that Wentz and a banged-up Vikings offense would struggle against Allen and the Bills.
