Despite, poor starts to the season for both teams, there are pretty big playoff implications for this game.
Minnesota has fought its way into contention for a wild card spot, while Dallas’ division is so bad it still has a shot at the postseason.
For Minnesota, special teams mishaps continued when K.J. Osborn fumbled on a punt return. The Vikings got a bit of a lucky break, though, considering they recovered the ball.
Dallas stripped the football from Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins in the first quarter. That led to a Cowboys scoring drive, capped off by a touchdown courtesy of Ezekiel Elliott, who scored on a screen pass.
It’s a close game. Down 16-7, Minnesota has more work to do if it wants to make it four consecutive wins. Here are the best photos from the first half of the game:
