Week 10 vs. MIN

Date published: Nov. 8, 2019


Entering this game, have MIke Zimmer and Jason Garrett used up all of their good will wth their respective franchises?


Entering game: Cowboys lead head to head all time, 16-14


Notable games: Drew Pearson hail mary; Randy Moss’ first game against Dallas with three TD catches of more than 50 yards; playoff game in 2009, routed DAL 34-3 with Brett Favre


Vikings have a really good defense again (built to defeat Aaron Rodgers with a pass rush and good DB play)!


Cowboys have a really good offense again!


Fun matchup to watch is 11 personnel vs 11 personnel - Cowboys have been the best team in the league in 11 personnel and the Vikings play 11 personnel super well on defense. Vikings are also not shabby in 11 personnel offense themselves. 


Matchup to watch: Danielle Hunter vs. La’el Collins

Matchup to watch: Vikings interior OL vs. Maliek Collins and Mike Bennett


Bob’s pick: Cowboys 31, Minnesota 24
