Buffalo moved to 7-1 at U.S. Bank Stadium on November 9, held Minnesota to 0-for-7 on third down, and put a new line in the NFL record book.
The Buffalo Bills beat the Minnesota Vikings 23 to 6 at U.S. Bank Stadium on Monday, November 9, per buffalobills.com. It was their fourth straight win and moved them to 7-1.
Josh Allen and James Cook III also made history. The Bills say they are the first QB-RB duo in NFL history to reach 5,000 career rushing yards as teammates in the same season, and the fourth and fifth players in team history to get there.
Cook carried 31 times for 107 yards and a five-yard touchdown. Allen went 21 of 31 for 234 yards, and his 25-yard touchdown to Keleki Latu just before halftime was the first of Latu's career. Tyler Bass made field goals from 39, 25 and 52 yards.
The defense kept Minnesota to two field goals, held the Vikings 0-for-7 on third down and forced three turnovers, including interceptions by Dorian Williams and Terrel Bernard. Buffalo had the ball for 42:32 of the game.
Next up: the Bills visit the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, November 15, at 1 PM ET.
