2 winners (and 3 losers) from the Vikings’ embarrassing loss to the Bills

The Minnesota Vikings suffered an embarrassing 23-6 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Monday night, dropping to a 6-2 record on the season. Starting quarterback Carson Wentz completed only 8 of 25 passes for 81 yards, two interceptions, and a lost fumble, while top wide receiver Justin Jefferson was limited to just two receptions for 35 yards.

Writer Chris Schad identified Wentz, Jefferson, and head coach Kevin O'Connell as the main losers following the defeat. In contrast, defensive coordinator Brian Flores was named a winner for his unit's strong showing, alongside Raiders general manager John Spytek, whom the writer argues gained significant trade leverage regarding potential quarterback deals.
