Bills vs. Vikings Preview: Beating Brian Flores’ Blitz, Hairston Trade Talk + Final Predictions

The Buffalo Bills (6-1) visit the Minnesota Vikings (6-1) on Monday Night Football, and Matt Parrino and Ryan Talbot break down how Buffalo handles Brian Flores’ league-leading blitz. Who blinks first? Can Josh Allen make Minnesota pay with his legs, and is this the week James Cook copies Detroit’s run-game blueprint? Minnesota’s defense ranks 30th in second-level yards allowed.

The guys also check the health of the offensive line, with Dion Dawkins’ ribs and Alec Anderson’s ankle, and the ripple effect if Tylan Grable or Austin Corbett have to play. They also cover Greg Rousseau and the pass rush against Carson Wentz, and whether Christian Benford can shadow Justin Jefferson.

With Tuesday’s trade deadline approaching, Albert Breer and Jonathan Jones report the Bills are looking at cornerback and safety. Plus final predictions.
