The Dallas Cowboys suffered a significant 34-26 loss to the Vikings, dropping to 6-7-1 and severely damaging their playoff hopes, largely due to their inability to handle Minnesota's aggressive blitzing and poor third-down conversions, highlighting their defensive struggles and missed opportunities.
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love will face a blitz-heavy Minnesota Vikings defense in an upcoming game, providing an opportunity to showcase his ability to throw deep. The Packers have struggled to execute their deep passing game this season, with Love completing just 6 of 27 throws beyond 20 yards, including three interceptions. The Vikings, known for their aggressive blitzing, will test Love's ability to connect on deep shots. This game will provide insight into whether the Packers' deep passing struggles are a result of a young offense or a weakness in Love's game.
San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan was even more impressed with quarterback Brock Purdy's performance after watching the game film of their win against the New York Giants.

He finished with 310 yards, two touchdowns, and most importantly, zero turnovers. Shanahan praised the entire offense for adapting to the blitz and sees the game as a valuable resource for future matchups. The 49ers now prepare to face the Arizona Cardinals.
