NFL Week 10: Top viral moments from Vikings-Bills, Cowboys-Packers more
Week 10 of the NFL season brought an electric atmosphere overseas and an invasion of pigeons in Pittsburgh. Check out the top viral moments!NOVEMBER 14, 2022
Adam Thielen - Overshadowed by Jefferson Thielen caught five of seven targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 33-30 overtime win over Buffalo.
Impact Thielen finished fourth on the team in targets behind Justin Jefferson (16), K.J. Osborn (11) and T.J. Hockenson (10). Jefferson dominated to the tune of 193 yards and one touchdown, but no other Viking reached 50 yards or found the end zone. Thielen's nose for the end zone has been key to his fantasy success in recent years -- he totaled 24 touchdowns over the previous two campaigns -- but he's scored only twice in 2022. Ending a touchdown drought that dates back to Week 6 won't be easy in Week 11 against the tough Dallas defense.

T.J. Hockenson - Seeing heavy volume with Vikings Hockenson caught seven of 10 targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 33-30 overtime win over the Bills.
Impact Hockenson has been targeted 19 times in two games with the Vikings, catching 16 of those for 115 yards. His steady diet of targets from Kirk Cousins has elevated Hockenson back into the upper echelon of the thin tight-end position, especially in PPR formats. The former Detroit tight end will face the Cowboys in Week 11. Dallas held Hockenson to four catches for 48 yards as a member of the Lions in Week 7.

Za'Darius Smith - Dealing with knee injury after win Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell said that Smith is dealing with a knee contusion following Sunday's 33-30 overtime win against the Bills, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press...
Impact Smith once again played a large role in Minnesota's pass rush, as he knocked down a pass at the line of scrimmage and sacked quarterback Josh Allen for a 13-yard loss before going down with this knee late in the fourth quarter. The 30-year-old remained down on the field for some time but was eventually able to walk off under his own power, per Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. While Smith never received an official injury designation before the end of overtime, it will be worth monitoring his status heading into next Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

Kirk Cousins - Tops 350 yards in OT win Cousins completed 30 of 50 passing attempts for 357 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions while rushing six times for 12 yards in Sunday's 33-30 overtime win over the Bills.
Impact Cousins opened the scoring with a 22-yard touchdown pass to Justin Jefferson, but Minnesota proceeded to fall into a 27-10 hole before Cousins led them back. He was stuffed on a 4th and goal rushing attempt inside the one-yard line in the final minute, but Buffalo fumbled the snap on the next play and Minnesota's defense recovered for the go-ahead touchdown. Cousins then engineered the go-ahead drive in overtime while flashing brilliant chemistry with Jefferson, who accounted for 193 of Cousins' 357 yards. The 34-year-old quarterback has thrown at least one touchdown in each of Minnesota's first nine games to guide the team to an 8-1 record heading into a Week 11 visit from the Cowboys.

Dalvin Cook - Races for 81-yard TD in OT win Cook rushed 14 times for 119 yards and one touchdown while catching three of five targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 33-30 overtime win over the Bills.
Impact Cook was bottled up in the first half but broke free for an 81-yard touchdown run to pull the Vikings within 10 in the third quarter. He later helped Minnesota work its way down the field for a go-ahead field goal in overtime with rushes of 10, nine and 10 yards. That field goal coupled with a game-clinching interception by the defense improved the Vikings' record to 8-1 heading into a Week 11 home game against the Cowboys. Cook's touchdown was his fifth rushing score in the last five games.

Justin Jefferson - Almost 200 yards in signature win Jefferson caught 10 of 16 targets for 193 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-30 overtime win over the Bills.
Impact Jefferson capped Minnesota's first drive with a 22-yard touchdown catch, but his best was yet to come. With the Vikings facing a 4th-and-18 down 27-23 late in the fourth quarter, Jefferson made a catch-of-the-year candidate by wrestling the ball away from a defender with one hand for a 32-yard gain. Jefferson added clutch catches of 14, six, 13 and 24 yards across the remainder of the fourth quarter and overtime, in addition to drawing a key pass interference penalty on Minnesota's go-ahead drive in OT. The former LSU standout could be the non-quarterback MVP of the league at this point, leading the 8-1 Vikings with 1,060 receiving yards heading into a Week 11 home game against the Cowboys.

Akayleb Evans - Forced out Sunday Evans was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Bills with a concussion.
Impact Evans logged six tackles before sustaining a concussion at some point during Sunday's contest. The 23-year-old was expected to take on a starting role against Buffalo, as starting cornerback Cameron Dantzler (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Saturday. With Evans out, second-round rookie Andrew Booth has stepped in to make his defensive debut for Minnesota, according to Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

Cameron Dantzler Sr. - Out versus Buffalo Dantzler (ankle) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Impact Dantzler was considered unlikely to play Week 10 after exiting with an ankle injury this past Sunday against Washington. The 24-year-old was unable to practice either Wednesday or Thursday, and his next chance to play will come against the Cowboys on Sunday, Nov. 20. With Dantzler out, Chandon Sullivan and Akayleb Evans will likely play bigger roles alongside Patrick Peterson this Sunday against Buffalo.

Dalvin Tomlinson - Sidelined again Week 10 Tomlinson (calf) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell also said Friday that he hopes to have the 28-year-old defensive tackle ready to play again Week 11 against Dallas, per Tomasson. With Tomlinson out, expect James Lynch to see increased usage against Buffalo.
