The Vikings lost a Sunday night prime time game at home against a Cowboys team starting a backup quarterback that had never played in the NFL. Had Dak Prescott been starting, the Vikings would’ve likely been around a 3 point underdog at home, but as news percolated that Prescott may not play, the line moved to the Vikings being nearly a 3 point favorite. And after the Vikings first drive, in which they moved down the field and scored a touchdown on a near perfect drive, things were looking good for the purple.
But that’s where the good feelings ended.
