EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — The third-ranked Vikings defense will try to corral the fourth-ranked Cowboys offense on Thursday Night Football.
Minnesota (6-5) has allowed 307.0 yards per game, and Dallas (10-1) has gained an average of 407.6 yards per game.
The Vikings defense also ranks second in points allowed (19.8 per game), and will be challenged by the Cowboys, who rank third in scoring (28.7 points per game).
The tall task might be further complicated because Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer underwent emergency eye surgery Wednesday night.
The 30th meeting all-time between the franchises that helped the NFL expand in the early 1960s will be distinguished when both teams were “Color Rush” uniforms.
