The Minnesota Vikings lost 23-6 at home to the Buffalo Bills, who improved to 7-1. The defeat was a second straight loss and the first at home this season. The first of the two losses came in Week 8 at the Lions, a rival in the NFC North.
The quarterback line decided the result for the Vikings. Carson Wentz finished 8 of 25 passing for 81 yards, with 0 TD and 2 INT, a line that left the offense with little to build on. On the other side of the ball, Blake Cashman did his part with 18 tackles.
At 6-2, Minnesota is third in the NFC North. The Bears lead at 7-2, the Lions share the Vikings' record and the Packers trail at 6-3. Minnesota holds the 6th seed in the NFC today. The last five games began with three straight wins over the Dolphins, Saints and Colts.
The defense allows 13.3 points per game, 1st of 32, while the passing offense ranks 30th of 32 at 165.6 yards. Kyler Murray leads the offense with 1,022 passing yards, and Andrew Van Ginkel leads the defense with 6.5 sacks. Last season ended 9-8 with no playoff spot, so the current record marks a clear improvement.
Two road games come next, at the 6-3 Packers and the 7-1 49ers, before the 3-6 Falcons visit in Week 12. Facing two winning teams on the road makes this stretch hard for a playoff contender. The trip to the Packers is a division game against the team directly behind Minnesota in the NFC North.
