The Buffalo Bills (0-2) travel to face the reigning NFC North champion Minnesota Vikings (1-0-1) at 1 p.m. Sunday in a Week 3 matchup featuring teams heading in opposite directions following playoff appearances in 2017.
Entering Friday as a 16.5-point underdog, the largest spread of the year, the Bills will have their work cut out for them playing in a hostile atmosphere against a team with its sights set on a Super Bowl championship.
As if it wasn’t enough that the Bills are struggling mightily on defense, having allowed 78 points in back-to-back losses to the Baltimore Ravens and Los Angeles Chargers, the offense, led by rookie Josh Allen, must now attempt to solve a riddle that has befuddled many a rookie quarterback in the past: how to beat a Mike Zimmer-coached defense.
