MINNEAPOLIS -- You knew it would eventually happen. The offense would struggle and the defense would have to pick them up. We just didn't know if the defense would get the job done. They did Thursday night.
Here are my thoughts on the Cowboys' 11th consecutive win.
1. It wasn't pretty
The numbers weren't as impressive as they've been, but it was another strong showing for the rookies. The offense struggled early. Didn't score in the first quarter. But Dak Prescott didn't panic. He calmly made key plays and finished with another passer rating over 100.
