Week 9 wraps up with a marquee matchup as the Minnesota Vikings welcome the Buffalo Bills for Monday Night Football!
Minnesota suffered its first defeat of the season last week, falling 19-15 to NFC North rival Detroit. Every game carries added weight in the division, where the Vikings sit at 6-1, the Chicago Bears are 7-2 after beating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday Night Football, the Lions are 6-2, and the Green Bay Packers are 6-3.
Vikings starting quarterback Kyler Murray is sidelined by a hamstring strain, meaning Carson Wentz will take the reins for Minnesota tonight.
Buffalo arrives on a three-game winning streak after victories over the Los Angeles Rams, Las Vegas Raiders, and Baltimore Ravens. The Bills are now 6-1 on the season. Can Josh Allen and the Bills make it four straight wins? We’re about to find out.
