Buffalo Smothered Minnesota. Six Points, All Night.
MONDAY, NOV 9 · U.S. BANK STADIUM · MINNEAPOLISThe Vikings went 0-for-8 on third down and had the ball for 17 minutes. That's not a game, that's a hostage situation.
Minnesota never got going
The Vikings had nine first downs and 178 total yards. Carson Wentz completed 8 of 25 passes for 81 yards and threw two interceptions before Max Brosmer came in. Justin Jefferson was targeted 11 times and caught three. Minnesota ran just 46 plays to Buffalo’s 79, and Buffalo had the ball for 42:32.
Buffalo just leaned on them
The Bills ran it 44 times. James Cook carried 31 times for 107 yards and punched in a 5-yard touchdown with 6:17 left to make it 20-6. Josh Allen threw for 234 yards and hit Keleki Latu for a 25-yard score with 44 seconds left in the first half, which was the swing of the night. Tyler Bass kicked three field goals, the last one from 52. And Buffalo did it with both of its starting left-side linemen inactive. Allen got sacked four times, but the Bills never needed him to win it alone.
How we did
We had the Bills -3. They won by 17. Win. James Cook to score: hit. Our call was 27-17, so we had the winner and then some on defense. The Crazy Bet, Allen and Dalton Kincaid both scoring, missed. Neither one found the end zone. It’s for fun and small money for a reason.
Are the Bills the best team in the AFC?
Who you got? Tell me I'm wrong.
