Vikings vs. Cowboys Live Score Updates — NFL Regular Season, Week 11

Time for football.

The 6-3 Cowboys are in Minnesota for the NFL's game of the week, set to take on an 8-1 Vikings team that has won seven games in a row by eight points or fewer. There are major seeding implications on the line. After the Eagles won on Sunday, the Vikings need a win to keep pace in their push for the No. 1 seed. The Cowboys, meanwhile, need a win to stay alive in the NFC East race.

This should be a fun one. It's two heavyweight teams in the conference, both featuring star players up and down their rosters.

When the Vikings have the ball, all eyes will continue to be on Kirk Cousins and Justin Jefferson, who needs 89 yards to take the lead over Tyreek Hill in this season's receiving race — and would break Randy Moss's record for the most receiving yards in a player's first three seasons. Jefferson should see plenty of Trevon Diggs, who was a first-team All-Pro with 11 interceptions a year ago. Another matchup to watch is Vikings LT Christian Darrisaw against Cowboys pass rusher Micah Parsons.

When the Cowboys have the ball, look for them to feed Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard on the ground. Vikings rookie cornerback Andrew Booth Jr. is making his first career start, so keep an eye on No. 23.
