So which clich\u00e9 do you want to use to describe\u00a0what transpired in Minneapolis on Sunday?<\/p>\n
Quite a few available at your disposal. That’s why they play the game. On any given Sunday, any given NFL team is capable of winning. Never count your opponent out.<\/p>\n
They all encapsulate what the Buffalo Bills<\/a> pulled off on the road against the Minnesota Vikings<\/a>. Not only did they pull off the upset. They completely dominated the game as evidenced by the 27-6 final scoreline<\/a>.<\/p>\n It’s a historic result from the standpoint of the Vegas line. The Vikings came into the game as 17-point favorites. Buffalo’s unexpected triumph made them just the sixth team in NFL history to win outright as an underdog of 15 points or more. But the 21-point margin of victory is by far the most among those teams.<\/p>\n How did it happen? Rookie quarterback Josh Allen<\/a><\/strong> and the Bills offense certainly set the tone with a touchdown on the opening drive. But question marks abounded as to whether they could prevent Minnesota from getting points of their own. After all, the Bills came into this game ranked dead last in opponent points per game.<\/p>\n But on the Vikings first offensive possession of the game, Buffalo’s defense showed that they weren’t going to be pushed around. On third and seven from the Minnesota\u00a010, Kirk Cousins<\/a><\/strong> tried to climb a collapsing pocket. Defensive end Trent Murphy<\/a><\/strong> came up from behind him and jarred the ball loose with Lorenzo Alexander<\/a><\/strong> falling on the ball. It set up the Bills in the red zone with Stephen Hauschka<\/strong> eventually making it 10-0.<\/p>\n Trent Murphy stays with it for the #Bills<\/a> and forced a fumble by #Vikings<\/a> Kirk Cousins. And look at the hands on Lorenzo Alexander to grab it.
