Who are five Minnesota Vikings players to watch closely when the team takes on the Dallas Cowboys under the lights on Sunday night?

The Minnesota Vikings get to play on Sunday Night Football this week against the Dallas Cowboys. The Vikings traditionally don’t play well when the spotlight is on them, but this week is a chance to get over that stigma.

Minnesota is coming off a tough road loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 9. The Vikings didn’t play up to their usual standards in all three facets of the game and ended up losing in heartbreaking fashion on a last-second field goal. They will need to be better this week to secure a victory on the road.

Minnesota had a lot of players who didn’t have their best games against the Chiefs. There were players on the Vikings’ offensive line who struggled and some of their defense who had mental lapses that allowed Kansas City to generate some explosive plays.

Minnesota’s special teams were also subpar with mistakes made in the kicking, punting, and return game. For the Vikings to win on Sunday night, these players will need to bounce back.

There were some Vikings players who actually did play well last week and they will be looking to stay hot against the Cowboys. Many of these guys will likely play an important part in Minnesota winning or losing this Sunday’s game. So who a few Vikings players to watch in Week 10 against Dallas?
