Dion Dawkins, 2 other Bills linemen hurt ahead of Vikings game
Buffalo could be forced to start backups on the left side if Dion Dawkins and Alec Anderson cannot practice again.
On Monday, Nov. 9, the 6-1 Buffalo Bills visit the 6-1 Minnesota Vikings in a prime-time matchup featuring the NFL's highest-scoring offense against Minnesota's top-ranked scoring defense.
Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores, known for aggressive blitzing schemes, presents a major challenge for Allen, who has evolved significantly since facing Flores' defenses in New England as a rookie.
Buffalo's offensive line faces uncertainty with starting tackles Dion Dawkins and Spencer Brown on the injury report, complicating preparation against Minnesota's productive blitz schemes.
Minnesota coach Kevin O'Connell announced Thursday that backup Carson Wentz will start Monday, replacing Kyler Murray due to a hamstring injury suffered Sunday against Detroit.
ESPN projects the Bills hold a 60.6% win probability, though Minnesota's defense ranks first in EPA per play and pressure rate, setting up a competitive matchup.
