The Buffalo Bills’ defense took over on Monday Night Football. Buffalo went into Minneapolis and beat the Vikings 23-to-6.
It was a defensive battle early. Minnesota’s Will Reichard kicked two field goals, including a 53-yarder at the end of the first half. But Buffalo’s only touchdown came before that. Josh Allen went six-for-six on an 80-yard drive and finished it with a 25-yard touchdown pass to Keleki Latu, the first touchdown of Latu’s career. That put the Bills up 10-to-6 at the half.
Then Buffalo shut the Vikings out in the second half, outscoring them 13-to-nothing. The Bills’ defense never let Minnesota into the end zone. Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz, starting in place of the injured Kyler Murray, completed just seven of 17 passes in the first half. Greg Rousseau also recovered a fumble that set up a Tyler Bass field goal.
With the win, the Bills improve to seven-and-one.
Next up, Buffalo heads to MetLife Stadium in New Jersey to face the New York Jets. Kickoff is Sunday at 1 o’clock Eastern.
