Vikings lose to Bills on 'Monday Night Football'

MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Vikings lost 23-6 to the Buffalo Bills on "Monday Night Football" at U.S. Bank Stadium after an ugly offensive performance with Carson Wentz starting in place of Kyler Murray, who was ruled out with a hamstring strain.

Wentz was 8 of 25 for 81 yards with two interceptions.

The Vikings defense limited the league-leading Bills scoring offense through the first half, but the strain of another game spent disproportionately on the field wore on them by the end. The Bills out-possessed the Vikings 42:32 to 17:28.

 

We’ll see if Vikings general manager Nolan Teasley is able to execute a move to make this offense more of a true counterpart to its defense before tomorrow’s 4 p.m. ET NFL trade deadline.
