The Vikings allowed Andy Dalton and Ezekiel Elliott to have the easiest games of their lives and gave up 31 to an abysmal offense. They lost 31-28 to a team that should not have bested them so. From Kirk's great game to the mistakes on defense that allowed the Cowboys to move the ball at will, we'll hop into the best and worst of this frustrating contest.

C.J. Ham is on COVID-IR after missing several practices for "non injury-related" reasons. In Dallas, both Randy Gregory and DeMarcus Lawrence are missing practice due to an illness, and their status for Sunday is in heavy doubt. The Cowboys will start Andy Dalton at QB, which means that Zimmer's blitzes can tear them apart. If they lean on the run, they're leaning on one of the worst running backs in the league. On defense, they run cover 3. Luckily, schemes like the Vikings' have all sorts of counters worked in for cover 3. Kevin Stefanski and the Browns put up 49 on the Cowboys, largely thanks to these concepts. Finally, your bold predictions!

The Vikings have a special teams issue. Fixing it, thankfully, is pretty easy. The defense also has some players worth highlighting who had great nights in Chicago. The coaching was also superb: Zimmer is turning this ragtag band of misfits into a reasonable defense. This includes clever blitz schemes, well-deployed pass rush tricks, and inverted coverages being used way more often than usual. Finally, we take a look at the run offense and what went wrong in Chicago, and more importantly, if future opponents can copy it.

The Vikings overcame special teams blunders and a litany of curses to finally beat the Bears 19-13 in Soldier Field. The Monday night game saw a struggling run game, but a dominant effort from the defense was able to prevail. We'll talk about Hercules Mata'afa's good game, Kirk Cousins and the third win in a row where he simply managed the game responsibly.

The Vikings cut, at worst, a position flexible backup offensive lineman, for the sake of some money that likely won't generate more value. Why cutting Pat Elflein is a risk the Vikings can't afford to take. Plus, all the roster flurries from over the weekend with Samia on COVID-19 IR, and a couple of activations from the practice squad.

The Vikings took the Lions to the woodshed on Sunday, led by Dalvin Cook's 200 yard rushing day. The Lions came into the game with a lot of "revenge" narratives to motivate them, but those players were largely non-factors. The defense out-played its expectations, and the offense was nigh unstoppable, scoring five touchdowns on the day. Here's how the Vikings took it to a Lions team in free-fall.
