Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills overcame a stifling Minnesota Vikings defense and key injuries to secure a 23-6 Monday Night Football victory. Despite facing the NFL's 30th-ranked passing defense without starting left tackle Dion Dawkins and left guard Alec Anderson, Allen engineered a win. The Vikings' offense struggled, mustering only 8.9 passer rating from Carson Wentz, who was benched in the fourth quarter for Max Brosmer.
Buffalo's running back James Cook III exceeded 30 carries for only the second time in his career with 31 rushes for 107 yards and a score. A highlight was tight end Keleki Latu's first NFL touchdown, a 25-yard reception. Allen and Cook both surpassed 5,000 career rushing yards on the same series, with Allen joining an elite club of quarterbacks.
The Bills improved to 7-1, retaining the AFC's best record, while the Vikings fell to 6-2.
