Josh Allen and the 6-1 Buffalo Bills are gearing up for a difficult matchup against the Minnesota Vikings and their No. 1 ranked defense in Week 9. The Brian Flores-led Vikings defense is allowing a league-best 13.3 points per game so far this year. Meanwhile, Allen and the Bills offense are averaging a league-best 33.3 points scored per game.
This highly-anticipated, best-against-best matchup has the NFL world excited. In fact, even Allen is excited to see what the Minnesota defense is made of. "They're the No. 1 defense for a reason.
They're giving a lot of teams fits — a lot of good opposing offenses. It's going to be a hard week. We're excited for the opportunity," Allen told reporters.
"It's going to be an awesome test for our team to fight through the adversity of this game and try to figure it out as we go. "As a competitor, heck yes. I want to play the best." The Vikings are coming off their first loss of the 2026 season, falling to the division-rival Detroit Lions in Week 8.
Allen and the Bills, whose lone loss of the year came against the New England Patriots in Week 4, notched a victory over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8. Monday night's game will kick off at 8:15 p.m.
