Let's Talk Vikings: Vikings vs Cowboys Preview

A preview of this week's preseason match-up between the Minnesota Vikings and the Dallas Cowboys.

This Saturday, the Minnesota Vikings (1-1) will face the Dallas Cowboys (1-1) at the Metrodome for Week 3 of preseason football. The Vikings are coming off of last week's 20-7 win over Seattle, while the Cowboys lost 20-7 to San Diego.

Both teams still have many questions left to be answered. For the Cowboys, an important factor is Tony Romo, who is returing this year after he didn't play much last year due to injury. Also, the Cowboys defense looked weak against the Chargers, allowing many pass plays to go over them.

The Vikings' win last week was thanks in large part to their pass rush, which really showed up as former Viking, Tavaris Jackson, was under pressure often and threw one interception, which was run back for a Vikings touchdown. Donovan McNabb's play will be very important for the Vikings to do well against the Cowboys.

In the end, if the Vikings can play as well on defense as they did last week, the Vikings have a good chance of winning this weekend.
