‘In his previous four seasons, when coming off a season low passer rating performance, Allen is a 65.6 percent completion passer with nine total touchdowns against two interceptions with a collective passer rating of 97.7.

Bills meet red-hot Vikings with Allen’s status uncertain
‘From alone atop the AFC standings with a one-game lead over runner-up Kansas City and a head-to-head win in hand, the Bills and Chiefs now have the same record. Meanwhile, nine conference teams are within 1½ games of the top as the campaign passes midseason.’
Keenum ready if Allen can’t go against Vikings
‘His career stats also have one glowing season. In 2017, he was 11-3 as a starter for Minnesota after an injury to Sam Bradford — 22 touchdown passes, seven interceptions, 98 passer rating — taking the Vikings to the playoffs. In the postseason opener against New Orleans, Keenum connected with current teammate Stefon Diggs for the Miracle in Minneapolis. On the final play of regulation, trailing 24-23 and under heavy pressure, he heaved a 61-yard touchdown pass to Diggs to snatch victory from the Saints.’
Bills QB Josh Allen listed as questionable for Vikings game
‘“At the end of the day, Josh needs to be Josh, if he’s able to play,” McDermott said. “And if Case plays, then Case needs to be Case and run the offense.”’
Bills’ Stefon Diggs ready to meet former team: ‘I feel like this was part of my plan’
‘“I can’t live in that space of, ‘Oh, that was my old team, and I got so much to go against them.’ No, I would have done it to anyone,” Diggs said. “I want to, no matter who the opponent is.”’
Voice of the Fan: Facts, fears, and future of the Bills’ franchise
‘For fans’ argument’s sake, two weeks and games does really make a solid “trend.” It is just as easily a fluke or aberration. The bad game against the Packers was a 10-point win. It’s almost as if not having your All-Pro cornerback, All-Pro safety, Pro Bowl safety, and Pro Bowl linebacker in against the Jets could hinder your performance a tad.’
No surprises here: Sean McDermott holding off on final Josh Allen decision
‘Allen did not practice Wednesday or Thursday, though he was listed as a limited participant on Friday. What that means is anyone’s guess because media is not allowed to watch practice. When reporters were allowed into the fieldhouse at the end of the session, Allen sprinted off the field and into the locker room. Make of that what you will.’
Despite two tough losses, Bills bring home good grades at midseason. Here’s the breakdown
‘And yet, there is a sense of disappointment because, by all rights, the Bills could very easily be 8-0. They completely outplayed Miami everywhere but on the scoreboard, and they had some critical and uncharacteristic mistakes that enabled the Jets to rally from a 14-3 deficit to pull the upset.’
Bills’ Josh Allen ran off field on Friday when media arrived at practice, is questionable vs. Vikings
‘Allen was on the field when the media entered the field house following practice, but when he saw the group walking in he quickly picked up some equipment off the turf and made a beeline for a door into the facility.’
Growing up in Minnesota taught Niagara Falls’ Marie Esposito how to handle Super Bowl losses
‘Her children jokingly tell her she’s the jinx, the common thread for an 0-8 run, but Esposito’s never considered finding something else to do with her Sundays. Because for the feisty 86-year-old, Bills games mean a day with the family.’
Kryk: NFL midway MVP? The incomparable Josh Allen
‘Many are making the MVP case for Patrick Mahomes, the superstar Kansas City Chiefs quarterback of the past five seasons. He should be seen as the No. 2 candidate. Because he came up considerably short in his head-to-head showdown against Allen and the Bills last month. In that game — probably the biggest game of the NFL season to this point — Allen shone brighter.’
Despite his brief stay, Case Keenum holds a special place in Vikings history
‘But if Keenum starts this weekend, he’ll be throwing his first passes to Stefon Diggs since the playoff run that crystallized their connection in Vikings history. With the 7-1 Vikings possibly on the way to their best regular-season record since that charmed 2017 season, the Keenum-Diggs reunion provides an occasion to rewind the clock five years.’
