The Cowboys and Vikings seem to have an annual matchup, this will be the fourth straight season they will play each other. In the last three games, the road team, and underdog, has won each time.

In 2019, the Cowboys played host to the Vikings and were favored to win on Sunday Night Football. Behind a huge effort from Cook, who had 183 total yards and a score, the Vikings beat the Cowboys.

During the 2020 season, the Cowboys were without Prescott and Andy Dalton got the start at quarterback. Minnesota was a heavy favorite, but the Dallas defense forced two turnovers and Dalton hit tight end Dalton Schultz for the score late to win the game. This was also the game where wide receiver CeeDee Lamb made his acrobatic touchdown catch.

Last year, the Vikings were favored and playing against another backup QB, this time it was Cooper Rush. The Cowboys were down at halftime, but Rush’s 75-yard touchdown pass to Cedrick Wilson tied the contest and Rush then won it with a game-winning drive. The clinching score was a 5-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Amari Cooper with under a minute to play.

The Cowboys are currently favored to win this game in Minnesota, we’ll find out which trend continues.
