After a loss to the Cowboys in week 13, the Minnesota Vikings have now lost 6 out of their last 7 games. Here are the winners and losers from their matchup.

All in all, the Minnesota Vikings had a solid outing last night. The offense was spotty, but the defense was fantastic. Forcing 3 fumbles, 2 of which the Vikes recovered, and sacking Dak Prescott 3 times proved how strong Minnesota’s defense can still be.

Sam Bradford had a decent day and proved that he was going to try to go downfield more often. The run game was better than it has been in recent games as the offensive line showed up to play in this matchup.

In the end, though, the Vikings didn’t have enough to pull out a victory against the NFL-leading Dallas Cowboys. Mistakes were the story of the game, for both teams.

With that being said, let’s jump right in. Here are the winners and losers from the week 13 game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Dallas Cowboys.
