FINAL · MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL

The highly anticipated matchup between Buffalo’s high-flying offense and Minnesota’s relentless defense turned into a grueling, physical battle where the Bills simply outlasted the Vikings.

THE TIPPING POINT

Allen to Latu, 44 Seconds Left

Josh Allen extended a play for over six seconds before launching a 25-yard touchdown strike to a completely wide-open Keleki Latu. It was the tight end’s first career target and touchdown, breaking open what had been a defensive stalemate.

HISTORICAL MILESTONE

Allen Ties Peyton Manning

With his scoring production, Josh Allen tied Peyton Manning for the most total touchdowns (322) in NFL history through a player’s first 10 seasons — and Allen is only halfway through his ninth year. The Bills advance to 7-1, while the Vikings slide to 6-2.

GROUND ASSAULT

Cook Carries the Load

James Cook spearheaded the ground game, handling a massive 31 carries for 107 yards and a late touchdown.

VIKINGS OFFENSIVE MELTDOWN

A Nightmare for Wentz

With Kyler Murray sidelined by a hamstring injury, Carson Wentz got the start and went 8-for-25 for just 81 yards with three turnovers, including back-to-back interceptions by Terrel Bernard and Dorian Williams.
