The Minnesota Vikings visit the Dallas Cowboys for Week 15 of Sunday Night Football, and this matchup comes with some major playoff implications.
The Vikings have already been eliminated from the playoffs, but the Cowboys are still in contention. If the playoffs began today, Dak Prescott’s squad wouldn’t be a part of it, but the team remains on the bubble now, not yet mathematically eliminated.
Put simply: they need this win to keep playoff hopes alive.
