NFL Power Rankings Week 11: Titans stun Chiefs to keep hope alive
9. Minnesota Vikings (7-3)
Recap: The Minnesota Vikings looked to be in command against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football with an early 14-0 lead, but the Cowboys fought back, sending the game into the half at 17-14 in favor of Minnesota. With the Cowboys owning a 21-20 lead, Kirk Cousins and Co. put together a 75-yard scoring drive that was capped off by a Dalvin Cook touchdown run to give them a 28-21 lead after a successful two-point conversion attempt. Dallas had a chance late to win the game down 28-24, but Minnesota’s defense came up big and held off the surging Cowboys.
Outlook: Thanks to the Week 10 victory, the Vikings keep pace with the Green Bay Packers and remain one game behind the NFC North leaders with six games left to play. The Packers currently own the tie-breakers, but these two squads have another meeting left this season and the Vikings have plenty more divisional games on their schedule. Minnesota will host the Denver Broncos in Week 11.
