What were the good, bad, and interesting thing that happened during the Minnesota Vikings week 13 game against the Dallas Cowboys on December 1, 2016?

As week 13 of the NFL season approached, the Minnesota Vikings found themselves in a spot few could have imagined after a 5-0 start and being the last team in the league to get their first loss.

Now, their backs are against the wall. After losing 5 of their last 6 games, the Vikings are on the outside of the playoff picture looking in and their hold on the division title gets even looser with each loss this year.

Minnesota hoped to turn that around on Thursday Night Football against the Dallas Cowboys. With their head coach out of the game with emergency medical issue, the Vikings were unable to hold off their opponents, falling 15-17.

Even though the Vikings lost, there were a lot of interesting things about this game. What were the good, bad, and interesting events? Let’s discuss those as usual, starting with the things that made us happy!
