Beating the Cowboys...

just about makes up for the KC loss,
IMO.  I still believe the Vikes just had an "off day" in KC, and
it's too bad they squandered an opportunity to pick up a game on GB.  But,
if I knew ahead of time they'd split the back to back road games with KC and
Dallas, I would've picked the win to be in Dallas and it's not even
close. 



It's not like Dallas is all that relevant
like they used to be (the America's team BS), but I'll always love watching the
Vikes beat them.  Dallas is just one team that I'll never like, almost as
much as the Packers.



As a bonus, KC got brought down to
earth quickly too (he, he, he...).



Both games were close and exciting,
but I'm a sucker for happy endings.  It was fantastic to watch the Vikes
pound out that win last night - SKOL!

It is better to lose to the AFC than the NFC for tie breaker purposes as well

Yes, and GB needed more help from the home fans (refs) to win at home again.  Losses hurt, but I agree looking at this stretch early on, splitting back to back road games in KC and Dallas would have made everyone happy.

Losing to KC without Mahomes was really bad.  We stunk on both sides of the ball, but the defense was especially brutal.  Also got out-coached. That loss could be really costly; it could be the difference between a home playoff game (or even a bye) and going on the road to play in Dallas or N.O.
Great bounce back win in Dallas against a great offense and a great pass rush ... and without AT.
