6 biggest takeaways from the Vikings loss vs. Cowboys in Week 11

Hone-field domination is over
Coming into Sunday the Minnesota Vikings were undefeated at home. There seemed to be something special about the team when they played in front of fans at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
One great thing about the Vikings’ placement in the NFC is that they are likely to host a playoff game. Minnesota’s strong record at home will still be a huge advantage, even if it isn’t a place opponents think they cqn’t win.
Minnesota has four more home games and three road games against division opponents. Getting those wins at home will be essential, especially if things don’t work out in those road games against the Packers, Bears, and Lions.
The next game at U.S. Bank Stadium will be on Thanksgiving in a nationally televised affair against the New England Patriots. That will be another important test for a team needing to bounce back after their disappointing loss.
