Week 8; Cowboys @ Vikings

EAGAN, Minn. – It's been said that the best way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time.

And the Vikings certainly have an elephant-sized stretch of games coming up.

Minnesota (3-3) will come out of its bye to host Dallas (5-1) at U.S. Bank Stadium for Sunday Night Football this weekend. The Vikings then will play back-to-back home games against the Ravens and Chargers (talk about a cross-country trip) before returning home to host the division-rival Packers.

Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer acknowledged that the next four games will be significant for a team that clawed its way out of a 1-3 start.

This week, though, the Vikings are focused only on the Cowboys.

"I think it's important for the whole team that we approach each game [one at a time]. You can't get too much ahead of yourself," Zimmer reiterated. "I, unfortunately, have to look at the schedule a little bit more than they do, but I don't know other than – I mean, I know the next three games, but I don't really worry too much past that.

"We have to put all of our focus and intensity this week into practice; we have to put it all into Dallas and try to play the very best we can," he added. "When that game's over, then we'll move on to the next week."

I really do think Vikings can win this game its been way past time to take training wheels off and play to win! enough of this conservative game plan cause your always getting outcoached it's SUNDAY NIGHT time strut your stuff GO VIKINGS, oh man the Ravens and Chargers game cross country and time zones that will be rough

 

Dak was limited in practice, but still is probable to play Sunday Night.

 

Now they say the Cowboys wont make a decision until Saturday on whether Dak goes Sunday or not.

 

Who in the heck are the Cowboys trying to fool Dak is playing cannot see Cooper Rush Sunday Night my biggest concern is the Cowboys defensive backfield,just play to win even if you lose PLAY TO WIN and I really think they can win

 

It's a prime time game should be interesting Sunday Night if they win I believe your job is safe for the moment but if you lose the hot seat on you will be blazing I think your job just might be on line Sunday Night PLAY TO WIN!! GO VIKINGS

 

Now, Dak is a gametime decision.

 

In the draft I hope the Vikings need to draft a nose tackle they can count on seems like Michael Pierce is always hurt with one thing or another

 

Dak is out.

 

Yeah I just got in didn't know if I hearing this right Dak is out Cooper Rush is in

 

Cowboys will run a lot... we must stop the run!

 

I hope they can the Vikings run defense has been so so here's hoping
