What to Know
The Dallas Cowboys and the Minnesota Vikings have had some time off and are no doubt ready to hit the field. The Cowboys will hit the road for the second straight week as they head to U.S. Bank Stadium at 8:20 p.m. ET next Sunday. Minnesota will need to watch out since Dallas has now posted big point totals in their last four contests.
It may have taken overtime to finish the job, but Dallas ultimately got the result they were hoping for last week with a 35-29 win over the New England Patriots. Dallas’ victory was all the more impressive since New England was averaging only 18.4 points allowed on the season. Dallas’ WR CeeDee Lamb was one of the most active players for the squad, catching nine passes for two TDs and 149 yards.
Special teams collected 11 points for the Cowboys. K Greg Zuerlein delivered a perfect 3-for-3 game.
Meanwhile, the Vikings also got the better of their opponent in overtime last week. They won 34-28 over the Carolina Panthers. The victory came about even with Minnesota handicapping themselves with 98 penalty yards. Their QB Kirk Cousins did his thing and passed for three TDs and 373 yards on 48 attempts. Cousins ended up with a passer rating of 154.70.
The Cowboys are now 5-1 while the Vikings sit at 3-3. A couple stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Dallas enters the matchup having picked the ball off 11 times, good for first in the league. But Minnesota comes into the game boasting the fewest thrown interceptions in the NFL at two. These opposing strengths should make for an exciting matchup.
