GAME SUMMARY

This game turned into a shootout after halftime, with both offenses trading blows and neither defense able to fully seize control.

Kirk Cousins carved up Tampa’s secondary all afternoon, repeatedly finding Kyle Pitts down the seam and in the red zone. Atlanta scored 15 points in the fourth quarter, capped by a last-second 43-yard field goal to steal the win.

Tampa Bay answered throughout the game behind Baker Mayfield’s arm and explosive plays from Mike Evans, but late defensive breakdowns proved costly when the pressure peaked.

Minnesota went into Dallas on Sunday Night Football and walked away with a 34–26 win, controlling the tempo late and out-executing the Cowboys in key moments. The Vikings leaned on efficient quarterback play and timely scoring, while Dallas struggled to finish drives despite solid yardage production.

This game stayed competitive for most of the night, but Minnesota consistently answered every Dallas push.

The Vikings struck early behind J.J. McCarthy, who showcased poise and playmaking ability both through the air and on the ground. McCarthy accounted for three total touchdowns and kept the Cowboys’ defense off balance with his mobility and quick reads.

Dallas hung around thanks to field goals from Brandon Aubrey and a steady rushing effort from Javonte Williams, but the offense stalled too often inside Vikings territory. Minnesota capitalized in the third quarter with a short-yardage touchdown run and added a key passing score early in the fourth to create separation.

Late field goals on both sides closed the scoring, but Dallas never regained full momentum after falling behind in the second half.

• J.J. McCarthy: 250 passing yards, 2 passing TDs, 1 rushing TD
   
• Jalen Nailor: 3 receptions, 47 yards, 2 TDs
   
• T.J. Hockenson: 66 receiving yards, chain-mover in key spots
   

• Javonte Williams: 91 rushing yards, 1 TD
   
• CeeDee Lamb: 111 receiving yards, primary offensive weapon
   
• Dak Prescott: 294 passing yards, efficient but scoreless through the air
   

• J.J. McCarthy continues to show fantasy upside with both passing and rushing production.
   
• Jalen Nailor emerged as a red-zone threat with two touchdowns.
   
• CeeDee Lamb remains a volume-driven WR1 despite the loss.
   
• Javonte Williams provided solid RB2 value with goal-line work.
   
• Dak Prescott moved the ball but lacked touchdown production, limiting his ceiling.
   

Minnesota made the critical plays when it mattered most.

While Dallas moved the ball effectively, stalled drives and red-zone inefficiency proved costly. The Vikings stayed balanced, protected the football, and capitalized on scoring opportunities — the difference in a tightly contested Sunday night matchup.

Minnesota leaves Dallas with a statement win.
The Cowboys are left searching for answers as the season pushes toward its final stretch.
