6 games left, I'm predicting 5-1, losing @ Seattle.

Dallas oline is no joke

Dak had all day to throw

Made our questionable pass D look even worse

There were a couple bad calls, imagine that

The most disturbing thing from tonight was it seemed like every 3rd and 8 or more was converted. There were many of them. 3rd and 14 no problem!

Pretty damn good.

Rest Thielan if he's not 100% against Denver. Get him healthy on the other side of the bye.

Start rotating Hill in. We need to do something.

Helluva job J Johnson tonight filling in for Big Goon. No drop off against probably the best line in football.

For entertainment purposes tonight's game was a doozy! I haven't sweated a game out like this in a while!

I cant imagine what being there was like.

What a frantic ride that game was! I didn't think the Vikings had it in them - glad to be wrong. So as not to be a cricket let me say that Dallas running the ball on their last drive was the dumbest thing I saw all game. The second dumbest thing I saw was our staff not calling timeouts right away when Dallas was inside the 20 on the last drive. We needed to conserve clock in case they scored. Also weird was when we let the play clock run down to 0 and called timeout at the end of the first quarter. I truly believe someone messed up and thought it was the end of the half. Also, just because we won still doesn't excuse that terrible ticky-tac holding call on 22 when we had Prescott sacked and they would have been forced to punt. That's a game-changing call. Eat it Americas team!!!

We got absolutely shredded in the trenches tonight...both ways. But our coaching staffs made the most of the personnel they had to work with...Stefanski with the screens and quick hitters, staying with the run, utilizing the battering ram #30, etc. Zim absolutely forcing Dak to beat us through the air, denying #21 any space at all. I don't ever recall us being pushed around so badly and winning, particularly on the road against a good team.

Kudos to Dozier, J Johnson, Bailey back in Big D, Kirk, Hughes, Kendricks, of course Dalvin, but also Mattison, Ham. No letup now, boys! Denver will come to town with nothing to lose, much as Buffalo did not that long ago. Great win in Dallas! Skol!

Horrible officiated game, phantom calls and blatant ignored calls other way... even the second "toe tap" catch one shot they quickly cut away from showed clearly his feet coming off the turf as the outreaching catch was made and then landed out of bounds...

Great Vikes win and glad to see Cousins put up a quality W with composure and Rudy earn a game check!

I missed the game (but recorded it) due to my sleep schedule. Glad to see we got the win. I just watched the highlights. Cook is pretty darn good and I'll have to eat crow about Rudolph. Big difference between 7-3 and 6-4. It's hard to win on the road, but we need to win a few close games.

What a weekend or Minnesota football.

I haven't had a chance to watch the game, but it sounds like it was a tough battle and our guys came out on top. Always good to beat the Cowboys, but to do it in prime time, on the road, this is a rare treat for Viking fans. So that's three road wins so far this year, that's great. I'd like at least one more road win this year, of course I'd take two, but I don't want to be greedy!!

I saw people praising Dozier, did he have to come in for an injured guard? Also saw that O'Neil had to come out for a couple plays, I guess he's OK?

So Prescott threw for 400 yards hugh, ouch. We had to know they were going to get their yards through the air, they are statistically right up there at the top of the league, so you had to know that in their house, this was going to be a dog fight.

Really solid win, now lets not let down for Denver. They still have a pretty good defense and as today proved, on any given Sunday in the NFL, weird stuff happens!

- I would not agree with that necessarily. There was one drive we ran it down their throats and dominated the line of scrimmage. Also, I think our d-line did a good job stopping Ezekiel for the most part. Was the pocket too clean for Dak? Yes, and our secondary got torched pretty good, but I wouldn't say we got shredded in the trenches.

Also, Kirk has continued to do enough for this team to win. I think the "heat" can legitimately be focused elsewhere.

P.S. - I am so glad we drafted Mattison. What a beast. I love the way he totes the rock - with bad intentions!

We had a lot of injuries playing at Dallas and pulled out a huge win.
I don't recall Rudy ever dropping a pass. He probably has, but I can't remember when.
He might have the best hands in the NFL.
Kirk missed Rudy badly on the one play, but was very accurate for the rest of the game.

I can't believe they haven't cut Rudy yet! Need to hear from all the haters. Cousins shut some people up also. I would like to see him perform behind the Cowboy's Oline.

No way were we "shredded" in the trenches.

Held Elliot to just 47 yds rushing 2.4/carry. Pass rush had trouble getting home though.

We rushed for over a 100 and kept Cousins clean for the most part.

Felt like the only area we were shredded was the secondary. If we can get off the field on a few more of these 3rd and long plays we win this game going away.
