MINNEAPOLIS, MN (WHEC) – The Buffalo Bills are on Monday Night Football in week 9 against the Minnesota Vikings, looking to win a fourth straight game.
Buffalo Bills game day basics:
Teams: Buffalo Bills (6-1) and Minnesota Vikings (6-1) Date: Mon., Nov. 9 Time: 8:15 p.m. Location: U.S. Bank Stadium | Minneapolis, MN Network: ESPNGame preview:
The Bills look for their longest winning streak of the season as they battle a fellow 6-1 team in the Vikings. Buffalo won week 8 against Baltimore, in a game that quickly lost its hype. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson suffered a thumb injury on his first snap, and backup Tyler Huntley also left with an injury, leaving rookie Joe Fagnano as the signal caller for the rest of the way. The Bills defense took advantage of the situation, winning 36-10.
Buffalo’s offense still had some struggles, but by their measures, it still led to 36 points and over 400 yards of offense. Still, heading into a road environment against the NFL’s best defensive team means the Bills can’t afford to bring anything other than their A-game.
Years past:
The Buffalo Bills and Minnesota Vikings have played each other 15 times in the past, with the Vikings leading the series, 9-6. The last time they played was an all-time classic, with Minnesota winning on a Hail Mary in overtime, 33-30. There’s also some important off-the-field history to note here, with the Vikings trading Stefon Diggs to the Bills and later using the first-round pick they received to draft Justin Jefferson. It worked out solid for both teams, but you might have to give Minnesota a slight edge with Jefferson still in the middle of his prime.
It’s also important to note that both Buffalo and Minnesota are on the short list of teams to never win the Super Bowl. They both have great chances to get there this year, and the winner of this game could be the favorite to go all the way at this point in the season.
Player to watch: Khalil Shakir
What can be the best way to break down a great defense? How about an offensive player as good as anyone in the NFL at making guys miss? It’s pretty much what makes Shakir one of the most underrated wide receivers in the game. His yards-after-the-catch rate is one of the best in the league and has been since he entered the NFL. You’ve got to think that short passes against a defense that will look to disrupt Josh Allen are part of the game plan, and that could mean heavy usage for Shakir.
Predictions:
