The Minnesota Vikings beat the Dallas Cowboys 23-14 in the preseason finale at the Metrodome. The Vikings defense forced five turnovers and kicker Ryan Longwell was three for three on field goal attempts. The Vikings starters saw minimal action, but the back-ups and bubble players played with great enthusiasm and heart. Vikings Vixen was sad to see Dallas starting quarterback Tony Romo and star receiver Terrell Owens sit out – I was looking forward to seeing them make at least a few plays. Minnesota Twins centerfielder Torii Hunter and Twins catcher Joe Mauer were in attendance and the Metrdome loudspeaker announced that attendance was 62,938 although Vikings Vixen finds that hard to believe since you could clearly see many empty blue stadium chairs.The win will give the Vikings some victory momentum going into the regular season opener on Sunday September 9th vs. the Atlanta Falcons at the Metrodome. Vikings Vixen is ready for the regular season to start - let’s go Vikings!
