Emergency Eye Surgery Makes Zimmer Uncertain for Thursday

The Dallas defense was put into a hard situation after Dak Prescott’s third fumble of the season which gave the ball to Minnesota inside the 20-yard line with a chance to re-take the lead. During Thursday night’s loss to the Cowboys, after an incredible effort from their defense, the officials let them down. A 17-15 win against the now 6-6 Minnesota Vikings doesn’t look great on paper, but it was one of the Cowboys’ biggest tests of 2016.

One year later, former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe posted a scathing essay on the sports gossip website Deadspin.com accusing Priefer of making anti-gay comments toward Kluwe while he was still on the team as a way of goading him for his gay rights advocacy. Bryant finished with 4 catches for 84 yards receiving and 1 touchdown.

“He’s doing good. He’s probably ahead of schedule, I guess”. We shared our thoughts through the game.

For the Vikings, Sam Bradford played a fairly decent game. Jerick McKinnon carried the ball nine times for 41 yards to lead the team in rushing, and Adam Thielen was the team’s leading receiver with 86 yards on seven catches. Minnesota will try to snap Dallas’ 10-game winning streak, its longest ever in a single season. Minnesota has been missing key pieces all along their offense, but Thursday night they were without their leader; with head coach Mike Zimmer missing the game after an emergency eye surgery on Wednesday night.

“I’m sick and exhausted of the reffing in this league right now”, Vikings defensive end Brian Robison said.

OUR PREDICTION: I fully expect Minnesota to hang with Dallas for an entire half, and maybe for three full quarters. You’ve got holding calls all over the place that people don’t want to call. “We’ve got some teams that are looking better”.

Minnesota got on the board first in this one, courtesy of a 48-yard field goal from Kai Forbath to take a 3-0 lead in the first quarter.

The Vikings scrambled, naming special teams coordinator Mike Priefer interim head coach for Thursday only.

“The recovery time for these players after a physical football game needs to be more than what we got”.

In a game that ended with only 32 total points, one of the biggest plays of the game came in the second quarter.

The Raiders fell behind 24-9 following touchdowns on the first two drives of the second half for Buffalo (6-6), before mounting the biggest comeback win since rallying from 21 points down to beat Indianapolis 38-31 on September 10, 2000. Two plays later, Prescott connected with Cole Beasley for 13 yards.

“They seem to have a sense of where they are in the game”, Jones said Thursday.

“I hate watching”, Diggs said of missing the Thanksgiving Day game. “After that they were fine”.

There’s a chance that star running back Adrian Peterson will return during the final stretch from the right knee he hurt in the second game of the season.

“This has been building up over the last few weeks”, Robison continued. Interim offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur and offensive line coach Tony Sparano have both been National Football League head coaches, and Shurmur assumed offensive play-calling duties when Norv Turner resigned November 2, the same day Zimmer first discussed his eye surgery.
