Former Viking Chad Greenway on "Inside the North" says the Viking defense can take advantage of an explosive but turnover-prone Buffalo Bills offense at U.S. Bank Stadium. But says the Viking offense needs to pick it up.

00:00Yeah, this is going to be a great opportunity, what it is.
00:02I mean, you know, players hate playing on Monday night.
00:04I mean, every player on here can attest to that, man.
00:06I despised it.
00:07It was the worst.
00:08But it is a chance to go, you know, showcase your football team.
00:12It's great.
00:13It's a great game, in my opinion, for the NFL because, you know,
00:15everybody's been talking about this Brian Flores-led defense,
00:17the question marks at offense.
00:18You have Josh Allen versus defense, which is just going to be prime time.
00:22I can't wait to see it.
00:23Like, I'm really curious on how B-Flow is going to attack this thing.
00:25Like, how are you going to approach Josh Allen?
00:28He's a guy who, you know, is as elusive and as good of a runner
00:30as we've ever seen from that position in the NFL.
00:32He's a winner.
00:34The one thing I've looked at when I look at the Bills is they're turning the ball over.
00:39Mine is two on the year, which is interesting for a team that's that good.
00:43And the Vikings have a tendency when they get in their good spots,
00:46when they can get in third and tens and third and ace like TJ mentioned,
00:49man, you can get after the quarterback and good things happen,
00:51even if it is somebody as good as Josh Allen.
00:54So can we create some opportunities defensively to create a short field
00:57for Carson Wentz, to create a short field for our special teams?
01:00Because let's be honest right now, that's the way we've won football games
01:03is defensive special teams.
01:05And then I think the biggest question mark that I can't answer is,
01:08what are we going to get out of Carson Wentz?
01:10You know, to me, Kevin O'Connell's playbook shrinks
01:14when Kyler Murray's the starting quarterback.
01:15I don't think he's doing the things that he wants to do.
01:18Carson Wentz is built more for what he wants to do.
01:22Push the ball down the field, second and third level routes.
01:24Get your athletes out in space and let them work.
01:27To me, that playbook shrunk.
01:29To me, you can't call a game the way you want to with Kyler Murray
01:33compared to a Carson Wentz.
01:34And again, this is Carson Wentz.
01:36I understand.
01:37You know, he's been a backup, high pick, good athlete,
01:41not a Kyler Murray type of athlete, but he can get himself out of trouble.
01:44And he's won some big games.
01:46Now, can we keep him upright?
01:47Can the offensive line hold up?
01:49And that's the one spot here where I also don't necessarily believe
01:52that I trust this Bill's defense, especially in the back end.
01:55So, can we get Carson Wentz in rhythm early?
01:57Can we get some throws?
01:58Get these athletes moving out in space?
02:00Get J.J. going?
02:01You know what?
02:02Why not?
02:02Why can't we go take care of this thing on Monday night
02:04and prove, again, another chance, just like in this Detroit game last week,
02:07that we do belong in that upper echelon in the NFL?
02:09So, can we do belong in that upper echelon in that upper echelon in that upper echelon in that upper
02:09echelon in that upper echelon in that upper echelon in that upper echelon in that upper echelon in that upper
