The Dallas Cowboys were thoroughly outmatched on Sunday night against the Minnesota Vikings, a team that found out just hours before kickoff that their 2025 season was over for all intents and purposes after being eliminated from the playoffs.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy irked his head coach Kevin O'Connell as he danced his way into the end zone in the second quarter.

Greenard originally suffered the unspecified injury in Week 10. He missed two games and has played the Vikings' past three games on a part-time basis, but he aggravated the injury during Sunday night's 34-26 victory over the Dallas Cowboys.

The Vikings played the first half as if they have as much on the line as the Cowboys in the first half of Sunday Night Football. The Cowboys, who are fighting for their playoff lives, are tied with the Vikings 17-17 at halftime. The Vikings were eliminated from playoff contention earlier in the day.

EAGAN, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings will finish their sixth straight season without winning a playoff game, eight years removed from their last NFC championship game appearance and almost a half-century since they last made the Super Bowl. Their head start on roster planning for 2026 is going rather well, at least.

Former Minnesota Vikings wideout Cris Carter had a message for quarterback J.J. McCarthy and it focused on his connection with Justin Jefferson.
