The Minnesota Vikings defense could only hold up so long against the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football. Through the first three quarters, Minnesota held Buffalo to just 13 points. But they were out of gas during the Bills’ 15-play drive in the fourth quarter, which they capped off with a five-yard touchdown run by running back James Cook to make the Bills' lead 20-6.

Buffalo has had the ball for over 40 minutes in this game, which is largely because of Minnesota’s terrible offense that has turned the ball over three times and only has 126 total yards through the first
55 minutes. Quarterback Carson Wentz has been horrible, completing just eight of 25 pasing for 81 yards and two interceptions. His quarterback rating is just 8.9.
The Bills added to their lead with a field goal, making it 23-6. With a win, Buffalo maintain their spot in first in the AFC East while the Vikings drop to third in the NFC North. The Chicago Bears move into first and the Detroit Lions move into second.
