Buffalo's defense held Minnesota to two field goals in the 23-6 win. The Vikings, who opened with six straight wins, have now lost two in a row, to Detroit and Buffalo, and the roundup of Monday's news raised questions about their offense without quarterback Kyler Murray.

The rest of deadline eve: the NFL reinstated 49ers receiver Brandon Aiyuk, with San Francisco at 7-1 despite a run of receiver injuries. The Rams took bad injury news on Puka Nacua, the Packers learned running back Josh Jacobs needs surgery, and Cardinals quarterback Gardner Minshew has a torn UCL in his throwing arm and is seeking more opinions, an injury that could end his season for 3-6 Arizona.
