2-10 Now when Zeke is under 75 yards rushing.
Vikes played single coverage pretty much all game long.
P.S. Dak did better than his usual game but the above needs to be addressed......
Teams are begging us to beat them with Dak.
Vikes had 8+ in the box on just 2 of Zeke's 20 attempts.2-10 Now when Zeke is under 75 yards rushing.

You don't get, PappyDog. You refuse to get it. The game was lost because the Oline sucked royally trying to open lanes up for Zeke, not because the Vikes dared for Dak to beat them (which Dak carved them up). Cowboys lost the game because they stubbornly tried to feed Zeke late in the game even though it was obviously Zeke and the Oline struggled all game to execute. Had the Cowboys coaches stuck strictly to the pass, I guarantee you this Offense would have outscored the Vikings. Guaranteed. The Vikings wanted no part of Dak in the 2and half. Cowboys dumb coaches gave them a gift by trying to run the ball.Yep, first and main priority is to stop # 21 and they are willing to take their chances with Dak.
Today Dak did well so did the offline pass blocking but the above will come back to cost again and again.....
BOOM!!!Vikes had 8+ in the box on just 2 of Zeke's 20 attempts.

That's not what happened. Minny is strong up front and they stopped the run on a regular basis with just their front 7.Teams are begging us to beat them with Dak.
His new contract will handcuff the cowboys too down the road.Zeke is overpaid and overrated, to a degree most backs are. It's a QB and coach league. RB was a position that mattered in the 80s and 90s. Pollard or any decent back is a lateral move for a fraction of the cost.
Zeke has always been hit or miss. He's great up 14; sometimes. As the focal point of the attack, he's never been good. We could throw on anyone; it's clear we are a dominant passing team and have been since Prescott has been here, maybe not his rookie year. Yet having Zeke on the team handcuffs us really because they force his touches. Works against us. Zeke is an anchor, and an albatross. Plus some things I've heard about him he's a real cancer.
Dak beat them all night, unfortunately the coaching staff didn't hold up their end.Teams are begging us to beat them with Dak.

PS: our Defense got run up the gut and scored upon over and over because they still suck at stopping the run.
