The Dallas Cowboy’s top pass rusher, DeMarcus Lawrence, is expected to play on Sunday despite missing practice time due to an illness. Ezekiel Elliott has had his fair share of struggles in 2020 but that didn’t stop team owner Jerry Jones from calling the two-time rushing champion the team’s best player when he joined 105.3 the Fan on Friday.
Mike McCarthy didn’t let things like injuries stop him from giving an honest assessment of his coaching performance so far in 2020. The Cowboys have been much improved on defense over the last two games. If they can continue that and get Elliott and the running game going, which has been the Viking’s formula during their current win streak, they could get their first road win of the season on Sunday.
The Cowboy’s most important defensive player, CeeDee Lamb versus Justin Jefferson, and predictions for Cowboys-Vikings and more are covered in this edition of the news and notes.
