Both teams sit at 6-1.The Bills have been off to another hot start with MVP quarterback Josh Allen at the helm, but he’ll face his most difficult test yet against Minnesota’s Brian Flores-led defense.
Allen leads all quarterbacks in EPA (expected points added) per play, the Vikings have allowed the lowest EPA per play this season — the ultimate “unstoppable force meets an immovable object” kind of matchup.While the Vikings have been at the top of the league defensively, they’ve struggled to find rhythm offensively.
Veteran quarterback Carson Wentz will look to give Minnesota a spark in his second start of the season, as starter Kyler Murray is out with a hamstring injury.
It’s not inconceivable that Wentz could win the starting job outright with a solid performance; the Vikings are averaging just 1.71 offensive touchdowns per game this year — the fourth-fewest in the league.Follow along with Yahoo Sports for live updates, highlights and more as the Bills and Vikings close out Week 9, airing on ABC and ESPN.
