The Minnesota Vikings are in a weird spot at 6-1 as they face the Buffalo Bills on Monday night.

It feels like the Vikings have to win this game, despite being at the top of the NFC North and winning their first six games. Even so, the offense has not gotten their stuff together over the first seven games. The amount of inconsistency is a big deal, especially with head coach Kevin O’Connell struggling mightily, even more so when you consider that they haven’t been good since 2024.

This is another, yes another, opportunity to play one of the lesser defenses in the NFL to get things back on track. If they can do so, it will change everything about how we feel about the Vikings. Plus, it’s Brian Flores vs. Josh Allen, which is primed to be a great matchup.
