O'Connell: Vikings Have to 'Improve Offensively at Rapid Pace'
MINNEAPOLIS — An early intended pass in the Vikings-Bills game felt almost predictive of Minnesota's offensive struggles on Monday Night Football.
On the Vikings first play of their second possession, Carson Wentz threw what was initially ruled an incompletion to Justin Jefferson. Officials reviewed the play, however, and ruled it traveled behind the line of scrimmage — and therefore a fumble recovered by Buffalo's Greg Rousseau.
Things simply got worse from there.
Minnesota possessed the ball for just 17:28 and did not convert a single third down (on eight attempts), eventually falling 23-6 to Buffalo.
