"HC Brian Schottenheimer and his team are fighting for their playoff lives, and the easiest path to the postseason tournament is to control what they can control. That means the Cowboys must lock in and win each of their last four games, starting with the J.J. McCarthy-led Vikings. Football is all about matchups, as every NFL team has the talent to win on any given Sunday, regardless of the amount of blue-chip talent."
"Don't let the Vikings record fool you. A 31-0 shutout win over the Washington Commanders last week has the team playing with confidence. Whether or not that confidence can boost individual matchups remains to be seen. Here are three key matchups the Cowboys must exploit if they want to leave the stadium 7-6-1 Sunday night, and that much closer to a playoff berth."
The Cowboys face the Vikings in a critical primetime game and must win each of their final four contests to preserve playoff hopes. Dak Prescott leads the league with 3,637 passing yards through 14 weeks and remains highly efficient against the blitz. Defensive coordinator Brian Flores favors bringing pressure, so neutralizing blitz packages will be pivotal. The Vikings, 5-8, gained confidence from a 31-0 shutout of Washington, and Justin Jefferson remains Minnesota’s top offensive weapon despite recent spotty quarterback play. Exploiting key matchups on both sides of the ball will determine the outcome.
