Minnesota's quarterback continued to show plenty of promising signs in a convincing victory Sunday night at Dallas.

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.

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.

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.

Williams started his fifth game with the Cowboys with a big play, intercepting a tipped pass on Minnesota's first attempt of the night. He went on to record three tackles, one pick, and one pass deflection, along with three quarterback hurries.

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.

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

Vikings legend and Pro Football Hall of Famer Cris Carter has not held back his skepticism around J.J. McCarthy at times this season. And even after the best game of the young quarterback's career on Sunday night, Carter still doesn't sound like a believer.

Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears will play for NFC North lead on Dec. 20 in Chicago. Tickets prices reflect that, and playoff hopes.
