Bills Beat Vikings 23-6 to Secure Seventh Win of Season

Carson Wentz threw two interceptions and sustained a forearm injury during the Minnesota Vikings’ 23-6 home loss to the Buffalo Bills.

The defeat drops Minnesota to six wins and two losses. Buffalo secured its seventh victory of the season, cementing its status as a Super Bowl favorite.

Wentz started his second game of the season in place of the injured Kyler Murray. He struggled to generate offense against Buffalo’s defense before exiting in the fourth quarter.

Wanja Müller, a former German national team quarterback and an analyst for the NFL League Pass on DAZN, described Wentz’s performance as catastrophic.

Odell Beckham Jr. made his debut for the Minnesota Vikings after being promoted from the practice squad due to roster shortages. Beckham was released by the New York Giants on October 3 and signed to Minnesota’s practice team four days later.

Minnesota entered the matchup allowing 271.6 total yards per game and 154.9 passing yards per game, ranking second and first in the league respectively. Buffalo countered with an offense averaging 33.3 points per contest.

Scoring opened late in the first half when Tyler Bass kicked a field goal for Buffalo with 1:57 remaining in the second quarter. Will Reichard answered with a field goal for Minnesota before Keleki Latu scored a touchdown 44 seconds before halftime.

Wentz continued to struggle after the intermission, throwing his second interception in the third quarter. Max Brosmer stood ready on the sidelines as television broadcasts discussed a potential quarterback change.

James Cook III extended Buffalo’s lead with a touchdown with 6 minutes and 17 seconds left in regulation. Brosmer replaced an injured Wentz four minutes and 40 seconds before the final whistle.

Minnesota faces consecutive defeats.
