Game Summary:
This was the worst game from the Vikings that I have ever seen. I haven't been this disappointed in them since 2014. I don't know how they got so flustered but they did. The offense did not get past the 50 yd line until the 4th quarter, which has not happened in a long time. I can't put this all on the defense because the offense wouldn't get anywhere, they put them in bad spots constantly. Cousins fumbled the ball and lost it twice and put the Bills in the redzone then. I am scratching my head because I can't figure out how they would get this flustered. 

NFC North Update
While the Vikings did lose terribly to the Bills today, the Packers also lost to the Redskins today so the standings don't really change. The Bears are playing as I am writing this and the Lions play tonight at home against the Patriots. 

Injury Report
RB Dalvin Cook did not play this game while nursing a hamstring injury. DE Everson Griffen was out today with a knee injury. CB Trae Waynes exited today's game in the 2nd quarter with an unnamed injury. 

Up Next
Now the Vikings will go to Los Angeles on a short week. They play the Rams in LA on Thursday, September 27th at 7:20 PM CT on TNF.

SKOL Vikings!
