Another stout performance out of the NFC North, the Vikings headed down to Jerry World in Dallas and snagged a rebound win from the Week 9 confusion against a Mahomes-less Kansas City Chiefs.

One of the highlighted issues for the game against the Cowboys was how the Vikings’ line—which has not done a great job with pass protection—would do against a Dallas rush that helped make the pass defense fifth in the NFL.

And the O-line was tremendous—one sack allowed— with a protection effort that was better than the Vikes’ previous pass-blocking grades would suggest. And the energy during the air attack didn’t neglect a strong running push that has given the Vikings so many scoring opportunities this season: Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison totaled 139 yards on 34 carries with one touchdown.

Josh Klien, Pat Elflein, Riley Reiff, Garrett Bradbury, Brian O’Neill, and Dakota Dozier: It’s your great blocking prowess that deserves endless bowls of soup—congrats on being Champions of the Choppy Steps for Week 10
