The Buffalo Bills held the Minnesota Vikings to 6 points and won 23-6 on the road. Minnesota arrived with a 6-2 record, which makes the size of the margin more telling. The result stretched the Bills' winning streak to 4 games and moved their record to 7-1.
James Cook III did the heaviest lifting, finishing with 107 rushing yards and 1 touchdown on 31 carries. Josh Allen completed 21 of 31 passes for 234 yards. He threw 1 touchdown and 1 interception, so the running game carried more of the load against Minnesota.
The Bills sit atop the AFC East, ahead of the Patriots at 5-4, the Jets at 2-7 and the Dolphins at 1-7. They also hold the 1st seed in the AFC today. Their only defeat in the last 5 games was a 26-29 home loss to the Patriots. They are 4-0 on the road.
The offense scores 32.0 points per game, 1st of 32, and ranks 2nd of 32 in rushing at 146.6 yards per game. Ball security is the clear weakness, as 1.5 turnovers per game ranks only 20th of 32. Josh Allen paces the passing game with 2,027 yards. Greg Rousseau leads the pass rush with 8.0 sacks.
The next 2 games are at the Jets and home against the Dolphins, the division's bottom teams at 2-7 and 1-7. That stretch looks manageable before the 6-2 Chiefs visit in Week 12, the toughest test of the set. The Bills remain in the playoff race and have 9 games left to protect their lead in the AFC East.
