"With last Thursday night's loss at the Detroit Lions, the Dallas Cowboys are 0-2-1 against the NFC North this season, and have their final opportunity to get a win against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night. The best division in football from a year ago has given the Cowboys a lot of trouble in 2025 and is a big reason they still have a lot of work to do catching the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC East."
"The Eagles also lost to the Bears on Black Friday like the Cowboys did in week three, but beat a Packers team the Cowboys managed a tie against and won at the Vikings 28-22 in week seven. The Cowboys need to hold serve against the Vikings and win playing against J.J. McCarthy. When Philly beat Minnesota, it was against their own former QB Carson Wentz."
The Dallas Cowboys enter Sunday night needing a win over the Minnesota Vikings to improve their 0-2-1 record against the NFC North and keep playoff hopes alive. The NFC North has been challenging for Dallas in 2025 and contributes to the gap with the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC East. J.J. McCarthy starts for Minnesota after multiple road wins and a three-touchdown game, and he has thrown four interceptions in three road starts. Dallas' defense must pressure and force turnovers while the offense must replicate high-output performances. Minnesota's defense, led by Brian Flores, has been stingy, creating a matchup of contrasting team strengths.
