On Monday evening, the Buffalo Bills pushed their record to 7-1 on the 2026 NFL season with an impressive road win over the Minnesota Vikings. Although the offense got off to a bit of a sluggish start, quarterback Josh Allen eventually turned up the heat, finishing the game with 234 yards and a touchdown in the win.
After the game, Allen was interviewed by ESPN Deportes and received a special gift from boxing legend Canelo Alvarez.

The glove was symbolic of how the Bills were able to deliver a knockout punch down the stretch of Monday's game, completely shutting down a Vikings offense that looked listless with Carson Wentz under center at quarterback.
The Bills continued their march toward the top seed in the AFC with this win, and Josh Allen furthered his campaign for a second MVP award in three seasons, putting together a strong second half against what has been one of the top defenses in the NFL this year in Minnesota.
It's generally around this time that the Bills start to waver a bit in their schedule before finishing the regular season strong, which explains why Buffalo typically finds itself playing on Wild Card weekend every year instead of securing a bye in the first round before flaming out in one of the next two rounds, as was once again the case last year.
Buffalo will look to flip the script this time around and continue their domination of the regular season schedule and earn the top seed in the AFC.
The Bills will continue that quest next Sunday with a road game vs the New York Jets.
