Vikings blitz rate couldn't stop the Bills' offense in Week 9

Going into Monday's game against the Buffalo Bills, the premier matchup was Josh Allen and company versus the impressive defense that Brian Flores has put together. Flores is known for his high blitz rate, and many wondered how Buffalo would respond to the nonstop pressure he would bring.

The answer? Allen and James Cook did enough to get the job done, even with Flores blitzing Allen and this offense on 79% of plays, per Yahoo Sports' Hayden Winks.

The Vikings' defense did well enough to keep them in this game, as is the case in most games this season. However, once more, the offense would squander any momentum the defense developed, as they totaled just 178 yards of offense on Monday. With the acquisition of Kirk Cousins, there may be hope once more that this offense can do enough to stay competitive.
