EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. – While 24 NFL teams are taking the field today, the Vikings have a mid-week mentality as they prepare to face the 10-1 Cowboys on Thursday Night Football.
Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer said Sunday that Dallas is an excellent football team.
“Offensively, they’re extremely explosive, averaging 28 points a game,” Zimmer told Twin Cities media members. “Excellent offensive line, best linemen in football. The back [Ezekiel Elliott] is going to be really a super player – he’s really, really good. And the quarterback [Dak Prescott] is playing well.
“Defensively, they play really hard, tough, aggressive, and they’re good in special teams,” Zimmer added.
