Thursday Night Football will find the Vikings up against the Dallas Cowboys. There are plenty of reasons to doubt that Minnesota will be able start their winning streak against these 10-1 opponents, but anything can happen on any given…Thursday?

But what will the Minnesota Vikings need to do in order to get a win over the Cowboys? Well, that list is pretty long and there is little room for error during the game, but the first thing they must do is something most teams have struggled with this season.
