Several hours before taking the field against the Dallas Cowboys on "Sunday Night Football," the Minnesota Vikings knew they'd already been officially eliminated from postseason contention, which came to pass when the Chicago Bears secured a 31-3 victory over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday afternoon at Soldier Field.
But that didn't stop the Vikes from going out and giving their all against America's Team, ultimately taking a 34-26 victory. The Minnesota defense couldn't completely slow down the Cowboys' high-octane offensive attack, but Brian Flores' unit made some stops at the right time and did hold Dak Prescott to zero touchdown passes.
