Allen’s Bills dominate slumping Vikings

The Buffalo Bills defeated the Minnesota Vikings 23-6 on Monday night to improve their regular-season record to 7-1. Quarterback Josh Allen threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Keleki Latu before halftime, while running back James Cook logged 31 carries for 107 yards and a late touchdown. The victory matches Buffalo's best eight-game start to an NFL season since 1993.

Minnesota struggled offensively as quarterback Carson Wentz started in place of injured Kyler Murray, completing just 8 of 25 passes for 81 yards and committing three turnovers. Wentz was eventually replaced by Max Brosmer in the fourth quarter. Buffalo's defense secured two interceptions from Terrel Bernard and Dorian Williams, while kicker Tyler Bass added four field goals.
