How did the Minnesota Vikings rookies perform during the team’s biggest win of the season against over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 10?

The Minnesota Vikings shocked the world and won a nationally televised, primetime game on the road over a talented Dallas Cowboys team. It was a huge win for the Vikings and one that was desperately needed.

Minnesota’s offense was on a roll all night long with Dalvin Cook slashing his way through the Dallas defense and Kirk Cousins making clutch throws in key moments.

Defensively, the Vikings had a bit of a tougher time. They did a great job of shutting down Ezekiel Elliott and the Cowboys’ running game, but they had no answer for Dallas receiver Amari Cooper. Minnesota eventually held strong when it mattered most and they were able to win the game in dramatic fashion.

The Vikings had a handful of rookies play in their win over the Cowboys. Minnesota had their usual offensive rookies going and one new face on the defensive side of the ball playing in his first game of the year.

So let’s check out how the Vikings rookies fared in Week 10 including the player who shined the brightest of them all.
