No matter how you look at it, the Cowboys took a shot in the mouth last week. It might have been a haymaker, or it might have just been a jab, but they took a hit. That’s got to build up some tension, to build up some pressure.

You don’t want to leave those type of feelings bottled up. You want to get them out there. You want to find a punching bag.

And Minnesota would make a really good punching bag. The Cowboys need to get a little angry, and take out some of that anger on the Vikings. Because, heading in to the bye week, a good win would sit very well.

My advice: Treat the Vikings as therapy.
