The Minnesota Vikings have finally lost during the 2026 season. It took seven games, but it finally happened when they went on the road to Detroit to play the Lions.
They do not have time to dwell on it, though, as their insane gauntlet continues as they face the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football in primetime. Josh Allen and the Bills are humming into the game while the Vikings are scrambling for any sort of sanity on offense. Kyler Murray has struggled; the run game is not what it was early on, but the defense remains the best unit in the NFL.
Now, for the matchup against the Buffalo Bills, the team will be without the following players in Week 9:
- DL Caleb Banks
- S Theo Jackson
- CB Charles Demmings
- WR Jauan Jennings
- S Jakobe Thomas
- QB Kyler Murray
