In the US:  Sunday Night Football featured the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8-5) at the Dallas Cowboys (11-2).  Jameis Winston had improved, along the Tampa Bay's iffy defense so the Buccaneers were on a roll.  The Cowboys looked to recover from the previous week's loss at the New York Giants. Dallas fell 10-6 in Tampa in 2015 with miserable gains against Tampa Bay's defense.  The Minnesota Vikings, who started strong before their string of losses after their bye week (they are 7-6 overall, but 2-6 in their last 8 games)  should had been strengthened by the return of NFL favorite Adrian Peterson, who has been out with injury since week 2. They were favorites over the Indianapolis Colt...
