Bills vs Vikings live updates, idle, where to watch: MVP favorite Josh Allen, Buffalo faces Carson Wentz with Kyler Murray injured

Like a game of “Battleship,” if you call the right number, big plays can be found against the Vikings defense, catching them on a coverage break during an all-out blitz. If Allen hits a few of them, he won’t need to pile up successful passes, the same way Jordan Love and Baker Mayfield clicked on exactly 50% of their pass attempts against this unit.

The Lions used a strategy of running straight to Minnesota with 34 total carries between Jahmyr Gibbs and Sione Vaki.

Of course, Allen could also use his legs to try to make the Vikings pay for not returning home as well.

Add in that the Vikings could have a decent time of possession against the Bills defense, and we can’t imagine Allen surpassing that number if he’s forced to throw nearly 40 times — an unlikely game scenario.
