#VIKING GAMES HISTORY SERIES#
SERIES NOTES: The Cowboys have won three of the last four meetings, including on the road in 20. Peterson went on IR and will miss a game due to injury for the first time in his 11-year career. He missed the last two games before the bye. DT Michael Pierce (elbow) was the only starter not practicing for the Vikings on Wednesday. The Cowboys have placed DT Brent Urban (triceps) and backup CB Maurice Canady (concussion) on IR, sidelining each player for at least three weeks. He hasn’t played since the opener because of a calf strain. Cowboys WR Michael Gallup was activated off injured reserve. The Cowboys have been cautiously optimistic about his status since the results of the first MRI test after his injury on the winning touchdown pass against New England, and owner/GM Jerry Jones is confident Prescott will play. KEY INJURIES: Cowboys QB Dak Prescott’s strained right calf will be discussed ad nauseam, possibly even up until game time. With 11-year veteran Patrick Peterson (hamstring) out for at least three games, Dantzler will take his starting spot on the outside. Cowboys WRs Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb. KEY MATCHUP: Vikings CBs Bashaud Breeland and Cameron Dantzler vs. Cousins was 45 for 62 for 534 yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions in games against the Cowboys the last two years. Last season, his six-game marks: 88.2 passer rating, 11 touchdowns, 10 interceptions and one fumble lost. VIKINGS PLAYER TO WATCH: QB Kirk Cousins took a 105.5 passer rating with 13 touchdowns, two interceptions and no fumbles lost through six games into the bye. One against New England forced a fumble that Dallas recovered, and that came one play after Gregory drew a holding penalty that negated a touchdown.
Gregory has a pair of two-sack games to lead Dallas with four sacks. Off-the-field issues were the concern, and they derailed the oft-suspended former Nebraska standout for about four seasons.
