Cowboys vs Vikings live stream: How to watch Sunday Night Football online NFL

The Cowboys vs Vikings live stream is about to begin, and it catches a Dallas team that is looking to pick-up from where they left off before taking their bye week and a Minnesota trying to do the same. Unfortunately, Dak Prescott won’t be leading "dem boys" against Cousins and the Vikings in this NFL live stream.

The Cowboys (5-1) are one of only five teams in the league have one loss or less.  They have jumped out to that start thanks to an offense that leads the NFL with 34.2 points-per-game.  

Powering that offense will be Ezekiel Elliot. But Dak is sidelined due to a calf injury and Cooper Rush will be getting his first career start as QB.. Elliot has reemerged as one the best runners in the league. The 26-year-old is fourth in the league in rushing yards-per-game (86.8) and has scored the third most rushing touchdowns (5). 

Before their bye week, the Cowboys beat the Patriots in overtime 35-29. Prescott suffered a calf strain.

The Vikings (3-3) are also looking to get back in the swing of things after their bye week. They are coming off their first back-to-back wins of the season as they were able to squeak past the Lions 19-17 in week five, then beat the Panthers 34-28 in overtime two weeks ago.

Minnesota quarterback Kirk Cousins is having another solid season with a 105 passer rating and he's thrown 13 touchdown passes to just two interceptions. Running back Dalvin cook is also doing his part in the offense averaging 91.5 rushing yards-per-game. Wide-out Justin Jefferson is on his way to another stellar season. The rookie pro bowler from a year ago is ninth in the league in receiving yards and on pace for a 1,400-plus yard season. 

The Vikings are 4-point favorites at home. The over/under is 49.5.
