Minnesota Vikings at Dallas Cowboys: Final Injury Reports

Minnesota Vikings at Dallas Cowboys: Final Injury Reports

Yesterday, the Minnesota Vikings and the Dallas Cowboys released their final injury reports ahead of their Sunday Night Football matchup in the Lone Star State. There’s been an interesting development for the home team that was just put out there, so let’s take a look at both of these reports.

Minnesota Vikings

  • RB Ty Chandler* – Questionable (Knee)
  • OT Christian Darrisaw – Questionanle (Knee)

Chandler is still in his 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve. He was a full participant in practice each day this week, and if the team wants to activate him for...

Episode Notes:

  • Alex Katson’s piece on Philip Rivers and defeating time is well worth a read
  • We had a lot of stories this week at Wide Left. In addition to the Philip Rivers piece, we have two pieces from Matt Fries. The first one explores how good the Vikings defense was against the Commanders and how good they’ve been all year.
  • The second one explores the historically rare 19-play drive the Vikings put together against Washington and what it means for our understanding of the offense.
  • There have been so many words about...

Vikes Views: Who Ya Got? Vikings at Cowboys

The Minnesota Vikings hit the road to take on the Dallas Cowboys for Sunday Night Football. If the team on the opposing sideline didn’t have a star on its helmet, this game might have been flexed out by the NFL. The Cowboys are clinging to their playoff hopes with their 6-6-1 record.

Series Record: 15-19

Road Record: 8-6

Streak: L3

It sounds like CeeDee Lamb plans to play after a concussion last week. The team left him in the game, and Lamb complained about symptoms postgame. The Cowboys will have a litany of receiving options between Lamb, Pickens, and TE...

Minnesota Vikings News and Links: It’s Gonna Be A Fun Ride!

We fans are an interesting bunch. Everyone does it their own way too. There are a lot of emotions involved which often times leads to heated discussions. Before this season began, I would say that the majority of fans were expecting better results in terms of wins and losses. The same would be true for the play from our young QB. There were some fans who believed the season would not be as successful due to the inexperience of our QB. Not a lot though (correct me if I am wrong). We are now in the throes of debating if...

2025 NFL Week 15: Minnesota Vikings at Dallas Cowboys

2025 NFL Week 15: Minnesota Vikings at Dallas Cowboys

It’s another prime time opportunity for our Minnesota Vikings this week, as we’ll be waiting all day for Sunday Night to see them travel to Jerryworld to take on the Dallas Cowboys.

The Vikings are coming off of their most impressive performance of the 2025 season, a 31-0 shellacking of the Washington Commanders at U.S. Bank Stadium in Week 14. That came on the heels of a 26-0 loss to Seattle the previous week, making them the first team in NFL history to get shut out by at least 25 points one week and then shut out an opponent by...

A Ray of Sunshine Peeks Through

That performance was the reason I believed a 12-5 season was possible. True to the Vikings’ pattern of being inconsistently consistent, they became the first team since the 1992 Denver Broncos to be shut out one week, only to do the same to an opponent the next week. Also, true to Vikings’ style, it’s almost certainly a story of too little, too late.

J.J. McCarthy delivered the first complete game of his young NFL career. Good for him. I’m thrilled he got a chance to tell his critics to pound sand. Both his passer rating of 129.2 and QBR of...

Minnesota Vikings News and Links: The Show Must Go On!

It was a good day on Sunday in terms of being a Vikings fan. JJ and the team had a solid game. No complaints really. The goal now is to keep it up against Dallas which is going to be tough on the road. There is a lot of debate here about the “system” and whether or not KOC is making things easier for the boy wonder. It is quite comical to me. There simply is way more to it than even the most “sophisticated” of fans will ever know. In the end, and after reading the first link below,...

Let’s talk to it:

Question 1: On a scale of 1-100, how surprised were you with how Sunday’s game...

Vikes Views: Viking of the Week

Vikes Views: Viking of the Week

The Minnesota Vikings shut out the Washington Commanders 31-0 on Sunday. It was the first time a team was shut out the week prior to a shutout victory since 1992. The defense was dominant and the offense was efficient. It was a beatdown from the start. It’s a rare treat to enjoy an easy win. Let’s take a peek at whose fault it is…

J.J. McCarthy

The team opened the game with a long 7-play, 61-yard drive and followed that up with a 19 play 98 yard drive. You can’t do that without execution from the QB. He was decisive...
