The Dallas Cowboys will host the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday Night Football this week. The Vikings have been one of the biggest disappointments in the NFL this season, posting a 5-8 record thus far. The Cowboys own a 6-6-1 record, flashing at times while struggling at others.
The first key here is that Dallas technically isn’t eliminated from the playoffs yet. It’s highly unlikely they sneak their way in, but it isn’t impossible at the moment. If they lose, that likely closes their case, though, so this is a must-win game for them.
The Vikings have struggled to consistently produce offensively throughout the 2025 season. They rank 21st in the NFL in points (.350) per play, and that number drops to .293 on the road. They’re averaging only 16 points per game on the road this season.
