Adam Thielen Scores Again In Crushing Loss To Dallas

With teammate Justin Jefferson getting the Trevon Diggs treatment for most of the game, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen was one of the few bright spots in an embarrassing loss to the Cooper Rush-led Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. Thielen led the Vikings with nine targets, six receptions and 78 yards, including a 20-yard […]

Justin Jefferson Only Targeted Four Times In Loss To Cowboys

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson entered Week 8 averaging 10 targets, seven catches and 90 yards per game.

However, he was only targeted four times and managed a season-low two […]

Dalvin Cook Runs For 78 Yards In Disappointing Loss

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook was off the injury report this week and facing a Dallas Cowboys defense that gave up 101 yards to New England Patriots running back Damien Harris in their last outing.

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Danielle Hunter (shoulder) is questionable to return to the Sunday night game against the Dallas Cowboys with a shoulder injury. Hunter came into this game with team-leading six sacks, 33 tackles (20 solo) and 10 QB hits, so it will be great news for Cowboys backup quarterback Cooper Rush and the […]
