The Dallas Cowboys have played with their backs against the wall for almost a month, but their margin for error has officially shrunk to zero ahead of Sunday night's showdown against the Minnesota Vikings, who are fresh off undressing the Washington Commanders 31-0.
The Cowboys are deserved favorites, but this defense is suddenly reeling again after it allowed 44 points to the Detroit Lions. It doesn't sound like Trevon Diggs will play, which means Dallas will need all hands on deck to keep all-world wide receiver Justin Jefferson in check.
Sure enough, standout rookie cornerback Shavon Revel is dealing with knee soreness and was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday.
