The Minnesota Vikings are continuing to prepare for Sunday's playoff matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.  


Minnesota finished the regular season with 12 wins and 4 losses, the second best record in the NFC.  That gave the Vikings a first round playoff bye and home field advantage for Sunday's game.  

But the Cowboys are a formidable opponent.  They trounced Philadelphia in the opening round of the playoffs last week and are one of the hottest teams in the NFL.  

Sean Jensen is covering the game for the Chicago Sun Times and was a longtime Vikings beat writer for the St. Paul Pioneer Press. He talked with Tom Crann for a preview of the weekend's game.
