Bills move to 7-1 with a 23-6 win over the sputtering Vikings

MINNEAPOLIS — Josh Allen threw a touchdown pass with 44 seconds left before halftime, James Cook rushed 31 times for 107 yards and a late score, and the Buffalo Bills beat Minnesota 23-6 on Monday night, sending Vikings deeper into their unrelenting offensive slump. Linebackers Terrel Bernard and Dorian Williams had interceptions and Tyler Bass made four field goals to stretch his franchise-record streak to 25 straight as the Bills (7-1) matched their best eight-game start since 1993. That season ended with their last of four straight Super Bowl losses. kAm(:E9 zJ=6C |FCC2J D:56=:?65 3J 2 92>DEC:?8 :?;FCJ[ r2CD@?
