Greg Joseph fades big Dalvin Cook comeback for Minnesota
The Pittsburgh Steelers (6-5-1) and Minnesota Vikings (5-7) will get us started in Week 14 from Minneapolis on Thursday Night Football.
The Vikings are currently on a two-game losing streak after gift-wrapping the Detroit Lions their first win of the season last week, while the Steelers just ended their two-game skid with the win over Baltimore.
1ST QTR - 8:13 - Big Ben's big heart
Pittsburgh took a chance on 4th and 4 and their quarterback Ben Roethlisberger slowly but surely got a 5 yard carry to get the ball to the Vikings 34 yard line and move the chains.
1ST QTR - 11:47 - FIELD GOAL MISS MINNESOTA
Greg Joseph can't open the scoring as he misses a long 53-yard field goal with no weather problems under the dome in Minneapolis.
1ST QTR - 13:51 - Dalvin Cook is back!
On his first carry after returning from injury, Vikings running back Dalvin Cook bolted 20 yards to the Steelers' 42-yard line.
1ST QTR - 15:00 - Kickoff
Steelers kicker Chris Boswell kicks to the back of the Minnesota end zone for the first touchback of the game.

Before the start of the game, Steelers running back Najee Harris revealed his other passion, taking high-quality photographs.

Steelers activate Rashaad Coward, T Chaz Green from practice squad
The Pittsburgh Steelers have activated guard Rashaad Coward and tackle Chaz Green from their practice squad for Thursday night's game against the Minnesota Vikings.
The duo will help provide depth to an offensive line that will be playing without starting left guard Kevin Dotson (high ankle sprain), backup center/guard J.C. Hassenauer (pectoral), backup center/guard B.J. Finney (back), and backup guard/tackle Joe Haeg (COVID-19).
Will Dalvin Cook play vs. Steelers?
On Wednesday, the Vikings officially listed star running back Dalvin Cook as questionable for Thursday's tilt against Pittsburgh, meaning that their backfield workhorse could very well be in the starting lineup come kickoff.
Cook missed last Sunday's game, a 29-27 loss to the then-winless Detroit Lions on a last-second touchdown pass.
