And just like that, the NFC is up for the taking. TheTylerDragon writes off the Cowboys' destruction of the previously red-hot Vikings.
The Vikings were outgained 249 to 98 by the Cowboys at halftime. Minnesota trailed 37-3 at the end of the third quarter.
In total, Dallas produced 458 yards in the win and held Minnesota to 183. The Vikings went 1 for 11 on third down. Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins was held to a modest 105 yards on 12 of 23 passing, and he was sacked a career-high seven times. The Cowboys’ seven sacks were also a season-best for the team.
It was an embarrassing home performance by Vikings, and at the same time, a dominant all-around win for the Cowboys. "We knew we needed to respond after last week,” Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott told CBS after the game. “If we can continue to do this, this team can be special."
