Minnesota Vikings vs Dallas Cowboys | Week 15 Game Preview

Minnesota Vikings are traveling men this week. They are headed to Dallas after serving up a donut to another NFC East offense. Is Jayvon Hargrave who comes out with it. It is going to be ruled as a fumble. The Cowboys in bounceback mode declared after they beat Kansas City on Turkey Day. They’d play anyone anywhere. Didn’t say they’d win against anyone anywhere, I suppose. Give it to him to the outside. Blocking and into the end zone he goes. boys face an uphill climb and Billy the Butcher isn’t around to save the day this time and CD Lamb might not be either. He dropped over a 100 yards versus the Lions before leaving with a concussion. Dak Prescott didn’t fare as well without him. Left the Motor City after being intercepted twice. Enters this week off a sub 80 rate game as a result. Prescott airing it out deep downfield and Pickkins was there but covered and now he gets a blitz happy Vikings defense whose secondary just held a Marcus Mariota Jaden Daniels combo meal to 108 yards to zero touchdowns while picking off each guy once and this Minnesota defense has imposed its will in this contest. That’s back-to-back dominant showings against the pass held the duo to a minuscule 24 rating after shutting down Sam Darnold and JSN the week prior. Cowboys catching their defense, playing as well as it has all year, shut out the Commanders, have held the last four offenses faced under 24 points. That ball clearly out and recovered in bounds. Hargrave, look what I found. Minnesota’s secondary gave up 41 yardds to Terry McLaren. held everyone else under 30. Prescott still threw for 376 yards. Dallas put up 30 points. They’ve gone for 24 plus points, four straight. So, the offensive engine is still humming. Now, you got a 63 yd attempt by Brandon Aubrey. Good. Still 6 for 15 on third down, one for three in the red zone. They have areas to clean up like their pass protection. Dak was dropped a season high five times. Prescott running for his life. Down he goes at the 23 yd line. The Prescott to Pickkins connection needs some work too. George with nine targets, less than 40 yardds to show for them. When Lamb left, Ryan Fenoy stepped up. Makes you wonder what kind of game Lamb would have had. Fenoi ended up leading the team with 13 targets, caught nine of them for a season high 115 yards and a touchdown. Prescott throwing wide open and into the end zone is Flenoi. Jake Ferguson 58 yds 15 over his season average. Caught to the 40 yd line goes Jake Ferguson. Javvante Williams ran for 67 yds and a score. Give it to him and into the end zone he goes. Only 3.9 per run. That’s backto-back weeks. He hasn’t cracked four. Vikings typically tough to run on. Not so much last week. gave up over five a carry to Chris Rodriguez, over 4.5 to Jaka Krosky Merritt. It’s a nice run by the rookie Kroski Merritt. We’ll get close to the sticks. Skull Nation not worried about their run defense, though. They’re more interested in whether JJ McCarthy can keep it rolling. Returned from his concussion, looked as good as he has all year. Not a ton of yards, but no picks. First time he’s left a game without one. Three touchdowns, a season best. 129 rates. finds Oliver for a two touchdown day. Vikings offense rebounded from its own Zilchberger to score 31 points. Quick strike. Hawinson stays on his feet. Touchdown. Four for four in the red zone. A big turnaround for an offense that hadn’t scored 20 points the previous four times out. But maybe they can string something together against the Dallas Cowboys. They were back versus Detroit, the real culprit behind Dallas’s week 14 loss and most of their losses this year. The post Quinn and Williams Logan Wilson trades Cowboy defense started out looking good. Have given up 28 and 44 points last two contests to the end zone. Open touchdown Isaac to Slaw. They only sacked Goff once on 34 pass attempts. McCarthy took four sacks on 23 pass attempts. fifth game. He’s been dropped three plus times in seven outings. Stays on his feet, spins ahead, still pushing, and they’ll whistle it dead. McCarthy gets a secondary that gave up over 300 yds to Jared Goff. A 111 rate, no picks. Orange slices all around. Goff has time. G fires, has the open man, Jameson Williams. Dallas’s DBs gave up 90 plus yards to Aman Ross St. Brown and Jameson Williams. Tight ends TJ Hawinson and Josh Oliver caught McCarthy’s touchdowns only 36 yards combined. Justin Jefferson the last two games four yards then 12 last week. That’s crazy. Jaylen Naylor 30 yards. Jordan Addison led the team with 62. McCarthy deep out route for Jordan Addison. Cowboys defense also gave up 77 receiving yards to Jir Gibbs. Held him to 3.6 a run at least. also gave up three touchdowns on the ground to him. One more to David Montgomery. So, it wasn’t a stellar night versus the run either. Montgomery breaking tackles inside the 10. He goes to the end zone for the touchdown. Vikings rush attack central to their win over Washington. Jordan Mason 52 yds, 4.7 a carry, a TD. And Mason goes the other way. Misdirection touchdown Minnesota. And Aaron Jones 76 yds on 54 a pop. Aaron Jones busts through, stays on his feet, and works inside the 20 yd line. Cowboys Vikings haven’t played a ton of games, but man, how about seven playoff meetings have met in every round, saved the last one, of course, two conference round battles. Let’s revisit their second from the 1977 season. Good afternoon everybody and welcome to Texas Stadium in Irving for today’s National Football Conference Championship encounter between the Dallas Cowboys and the Minnesota Vikings. Golden Richard’s touchdown on the Cowboys second play from scrimmage gave them a lead they never lost. They were confident of victory. Roger awaiting the snap. Takes it inside. Hand off. Dorset right side. 10 5 touchdown. New Orleans. Here we come. The Cowboys won 23-6. And at this moment in time, they appeared to be a team of destiny, not to mention opportunity or insanity. Hey, hey, hey.

  15. I'm picking the Cowboys to win this game for a huge bounce back! Who cares if we only have a 9% chance at the playoffs? We only had a 3.9% chance to beat the Eagles after Dak threw that end zone pick. Even if CeeDee doesn't play, did y'all see Ryan Flournoy have a breakout game in that loss? If he keeps that up, we may not even need to resign Pickens! Dak will definitely bounce back after throwing two picks, even though one wasn't on him. And we don't lose primetime games at home, so JJ Mccarthy or "Nine" or whatever his name is better watch out for our hungry pass rush. Plus Trevon Diggs should 100 percent be back for this one. We would've won last week if he played. You with me Cowboy Nation? Cowboysforever❤

  25. In Jerry World we go! This will probably be the toughest Offense the Vikings will have faced all year. Dak is carving defenses up and Pickens and Lamb are a lethal WR duo. Additionally the addition of Williams has changed things on the Dallas D. Interested to see if McCarthy can keep up the consistency. Gonna be a tough one. SKOL!

  32. The Minnesota Vikings coming off their home win against the Washington Commanders🟣🟡⚪️🧔
    The Dallas Cowboys coming off their road loss against the Detroit Lions🔵⚪️🤠⭐️

  33. Dak had 2 INTs that were not his fault and some controversial flags that negated some TDs. He should have had 2 TDs at least with 0 INTs.. nonetheless this Vikings defense is tough. I’m picking Dallas to win by 3 or 6
