Bills face Vikings as Josh Allen leads matchup in Minnesota
Summary

The Buffalo Bills and Minnesota Vikings are set to meet on Monday Night Football at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. Both teams hold a 6-1 record, with MVP candidate Josh Allen leading the Bills against a strong Vikings defense. Minnesota's starting quarterback Kyler Murray is sidelined due to a hamstring injury, allowing Carson Wentz to make his second start of the season. The Vikings offense has struggled this year, averaging just 1.71 offensive touchdowns per game, which ranks fourth-lowest in the league. The game will provide a critical opportunity for Wentz to potentially secure the starting job moving forward.
