The Minnesota Vikings suffered a 23-6 defeat to the Buffalo Bills on November 9. Quarterback Carson Wentz's performance drew criticism as he was benched in the second half for Max Brosmer due to ineffective play. Jordan Mason, who had the highest PFF offensive grade at 73.8, only received six carries, converting them into 35 rushing yards. The Vikings' time of possession was a franchise-low at 17:28, highlighting struggles on offense that included limited plays and poor execution. Mason's effective running indicates he should be a larger part of the game plan going forward.
