​Game Recap:
The Vikings did win this game. Everyone though is still talking about (mainly just Colin Cowherd) how big of a gap there is between Cousins and Prescott. But you want to know what no one tells you? It doesn't matter! The Vikings still won! Despite Prescott playing decent the Cowboys still lost! Yeah Cousins did not go out and throw a magnificent game, but he didn't lose the game for the Vikings. He did throw a couple touchdowns and tossed up a couple passes to get the Vikings in better field position and overall managed the game really well. In reality we don't need much more from Cousins on an average day. Just a QB that won't lose the game for us. Now when he is called on he has shown that he can perform, I would just hope he will do that the next time we call on him.
The defense did not play well for most of the game. However they were called to act in the end of the 4th quarter they did respond and came up with a couple stops and they intercepted Dak Prescott to end the game. Overall the team did come up with the plays needed when the game called for it. Good team win!

NFC North Update
The Vikings still hold second place, just a game behind Green Bay, in the NFC North with a record of 7-3. Green Bay did win this week at home against Carolina in a close game, with a record of 8-2. The Bears won over the Lions in their divisional battle so Detroit now drops to the bottom of the division at 3-5-1 and Chicago rises to 3rd at 4-5.

Up Next
The Vikings now will come home to US Bank Stadium to play the Denver Broncos just before the Week 12 bye. Kickoff is at 12 PM CT.
