Game Summary:
By all accounts this was a sight to see in the second half. Unfortunately this game needed a second half to be good. The Vikings scored on their opening possession but got themselves in a hole after that until the 3rd quarter when they started to claw back. Minnesota scored 21 unanswered points until Buffalo kicked a 29 yard field goal to tie the game in the waning seconds. Minnesota would end up winning overtime, kicking a 33 yard field goal and picking off Josh Allen to seal the game.
This doesn't even mention the multiple turnovers Minnesota gave away and captured. One key one played a role in Minnesota's final touchdown, when Eric Kendricks returned a fumble by Josh Allen at the goal line. 
The Vikings were outmatched in this game but found a way to claw back in the 3rd and 4th quarter and win the game in OT. Suddenly Minnesota is 8-1 and in the drivers seat for the 2nd seed in the NFC.

Injury Report
CB Cameron Dantzler was put on injured reserve this week for an injury.
Multiple players left the game but eventually returned today. Rookie CB Akalyeb Evans left the game in the 2nd half in concussion protocol.

Up Next
Now, the Vikings will return home where they will host the Dallas Cowboys next Sunday. Kickoff is set for 3:25 PM CT.
