Orchard Park, N.Y. (WGR 550) - The Buffalo Bills lost their second-straight contest on Sunday, as they dropped a 33-30 overtime loss to the Minnesota Vikings at Highmark Stadium.
With the loss, the Bills now sit at 6-3 on the season, and have fallen down the standings to third in the AFC East and sixth in the AFC.
Bills quarterback Josh Allen made an unexpected return this week after not practicing all week due to an elbow injury sustained against the New York Jets in Week 9. Allen completed 29-of-43 attempts for 330 yards and one touchdown, but also threw two crucial interceptions.

Leading up to Sunday's contest, Allen's status for the game remained unknown up until just before kickoff. The Bills signal caller had been dealing with an elbow sprain throughout the week.
"I just progressed throughout the week pretty steadily, put a lot of hours in into getting ready to play," said Allen during his postgame press conference with the media. "I appreciate the guys in the locker room for getting me back out there. I don't know if I could give you a definite day, but I always felt like I could play."
With his two interceptions thrown, as well as a crucial fumble in the end zone that led to the Vikings' go-ahead touchdown, it was another rough day on the turnover front for Allen and the Bills. This was the second game in-a-row that Allen had issues with turning the ball over to the other team.
"It comes down to my shoulders, and my shoulders only," Allen said of the turnovers. "Making the right decisions, making the right throws, putting our best foot forward in practice. This one's gonna suck watching. The only way is forward. We've gotta find a way to put this one behind us and not let it affect our next one."
