The Buffalo Bills forced frustration out of the Minnesota Vikings fanbase. Fans went from loud “Skol” chants to boos, as Buffalo pummeled the Vikings 23-6 on Monday Night Football. Coach Joe Brady and quarterback Josh Allen collaborated to shred a Brian Flores-led defense.

Allen even overcame a stunning hustle interception from Byron Murphy in the end zone. The star QB retaliated by hitting Keleki Latu on a 25-yard touchdown pass that eventually blew the game open. Allen finished with 234 passing yards and one touchdown. Running back James Cook III piled 107 yards and scored late too.
Cook pierced the dagger in and sent the loud Vikings fans into the exits with his red zone scoring run.
So Allen was supposed to face one of the league’s most talented and brilliant defensive coaches. Plus a man he previously faced a lot in the former Miami Dolphins head coach Flores. Yet Allen saw cracks in the Vikings’ coverage, including locating the one-on-ones and winning that battle.
Buffalo’s defense came through in lights out fashion too, with Dorian Williams dropping into coverage and grabbing this errant throw from backup quarterback Carson Wentz.
Wentz took over QB1 duties with starting passer Kyler Murray injured and sitting out. Now the Bills have handed the Vikings their second straight loss, but this one coming in what was supposed to be a possible Super Bowl preview. Especially with both teams walking into Minneapolis with identical 6-1 records.

Yet it’s the Bills who look very much like the stronger contender in dismantling the NFC’s best team.
