Minnesota Vikings
The Minnesota Vikings went on the road to face the Dallas Cowboys and came home with a Sunday Night Football win. J.J. McCarthy is now 2-0 against the NFC East and will get his chance to go 3-0 next week against the New York Giants. He did not play in the Philadelphia Eagles game. The offense has had back-to-back 30+ point performances, though against less-than-stellar defenses. Let’s take a peek at who deserves some credit.

McCarthy followed up his best game as a professional with an even better game. As they pointed out constantly on the broadcast, his...

When J.J. McCarthy took a knee to seal the Minnesota Vikings’ 34-26 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football, it put the cap on a trifecta that hadn’t been seen in Minnesota sports since. . .well, since before this website was even a part of this vast internet of ours.
Yesterday marked the first time in 22 years that the Vikings, the Minnesota Timberwolves, and the Minnesota Wild all won games on the same day.
The last time that it happened was back on December 20, 2003, and all of the games took place in the Twin Cities....

J.J. McCarthy’s first pass of the night on Sunday Night Football against the Dallas Cowboys was just about as bad as it could be. Fortunately for the Minnesota Vikings, the rest of his night went signifcantly better.
McCarthy had his second straight three-touchdown performance, throwing a pair of touchdown passes to Jalen Nailor and adding a rushing touchdown as the Vikings won their second consecutive game, defeating the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football in Dallas by a final score of 34-26.
The Vikings got the ball first and turned the ball over almost immediately, as McCarthy’s first pass was tipped...

We are heading to the fourth quarter of play at AT&T Stadium, and your Minnesota Vikings now lead the Dallas Cowboys by a score of 24-23 on Sunday Night Football.
The Cowboys got the ball first coming out of the locker room at halftime, as they won the opening coin toss and chose to defer to the second half. They moved the ball down the field with very little resistance, and Dak Prescott made a very nice play that saw him escape pressure and get a pass away to Luke Schoonmaker for a big gain that put Dallas into the...

They’re heading into the locker rooms at halftime at AT&T Stadium, and things between the Minnesota Vikings and the Dallas Cowboys are still tied up, but the score is now 17-17.
The Cowboys took the lead back on the second play of the quarter, as Malik Davis took the ball into the end zone from the 1-yard like to make it 14-7. He’s the second different running back to score tonight for the Cowboys, as he appears to have replaced Javonte Williams, who is questionable to return with a shoulder injury.
On the next drive, the Vikings faced a 3rd-and-7,...

We have made it through the first quarter at Jerryworld, and the Minnesota Vikings and Dallas Cowboys are tied up at 7-7 on Sunday Night Football.
The Vikings got the football first in this one after the Cowboys won the toss and chose to defer to the second half. It took the Vikings’ offense two plays to. . .turn the ball over, as J.J. McCarthy’s first pass of the night was tipped in the air by a blitzing Donovan Wilson and into the hands of defensive lineman Quinnen Williams for an interception.
It looked like the Vikings had limited the...

We’re right around ninety minutes away from kickoff at AT&T Stadium, ladies and gentlemen, and both the Minnesota Vikings and the Dallas Cowboys have released their inactive lists for tonight’s contest. Let’s take a look at who will be taking tonight’s game from the sideline in their street clothes.
Darrisaw is out once again after missing the first two practices of the week and being limited on Friday. His weird season after his 2024 ACL...

It’s all about learning for the rest of the season. Christopher Gates was the first to break the news that the Minnesota Vikings were officially eliminated from playoff contention for the 2025 NFL season. As Chris says, that means we will facing a fourth-place schedule for next season. In addition to that, the Vikings will be playing the NFC and AFC East, guaranteeing a matchup between the Vikings and, who I am predicting to be the defending Super Bowl Champion, the Buffalo Bills. However, next season is still far in the future by current-day NFL standards.
At the time of...

Going into the early slate of Week 15 action, the Minnesota Vikings had a very, very narrow road to the 2025 postseason. That road is now, officially, closed.
With the Chicago Bears’ 31-3 demolition of the Cleveland Browns in the early slate this afternoon, the Vikings have officially been eliminated from playoff contention.
The only road the Vikings had to the playoffs this season would have involved the Bears losing their final four games and the Detroit Lions losing all of their games except their Week 18 matchup against the Bears, along with the Vikings running the table in their...
