The Buffalo Bills dominated the Minnesota Vikings with a decisive 40-10 victory in Week 9 of the 2026 season. This win solidifies Buffalo's position in the playoff hunt while leaving Minnesota searching for answers as their struggles continue. Josh Allen was the standout performer for the Bills, throwing for 231 yards and two touchdowns, showcasing his ability to command the offense effectively. On the ground, James Cook III added a stellar 119 rushing yards, consistently breaking through the Vikings’ defensive front and keeping the chains moving. Meanwhile, Jordan Addison provided a bright spot for Minnesota, racking up 127 receiving yards, but it wasn’t enough to spark a comeback. Defensively, the Bills were relentless, limiting Minnesota to just 10 points and forcing crucial turnovers. The turning point came in the third quarter when Buffalo’s defense stifled a drive and then quickly capitalized with a touchdown, extending their lead and effectively sealing the game. Although Andrew Van Ginkel recorded 1.5 sacks for the Vikings, it was the Bills' cohesive defensive effort that ultimately determined the outcome.
