After a heartbreaking Week 9 loss to the New York Jets, it was expected that the Buffalo Bills would handle the Minnesota Vikings to prove they still belong atop the AFC.
Instead, the Bills lost 33-30 in overtime after quarterback Josh Allen threw a red zone interception on the final drive—his second of the game—to finish things off. The Vikings were 7-1 entering this matchup, so earning a win wasn’t expected to be an easy feat, but to see the Bills lose yet another “game of the year” candidate is gut-wrenching.
The win probability metrics usually favor the Bills early in the game, because they tend to take the lead quickly, but after an opening drive three-and-out for the second straight week, the odds immediately favored the Vikings.
