What happened: Greg Dortch opened Monday night's game by fielding the kickoff and returning it deep into opponent territory. The 58-yard return placed Buffalo at Minnesota's 36-yard line to start the contest.

Why it matters: The Bills signed Dortch in September to provide experienced depth in the return game. The favorable starting field position gives Buffalo early momentum as the team aims for a 7-1 record.

What to watch: Buffalo looks to capitalize on the short field and convert the opening drive into early points.
