"Getting the lead back didn't take much time as Dallas was already on the Minnesota 1-yard line when the second quarter got underway. Prescott got things going with a 19-yard pass to Ryan Flournoy and a 30-yard connection to Lamb, but it was Malik Davis who picked up the final 12 yards. He did so on three carries, the last of which saw him bully his way up the middle and into the end zone for his second touchdown of the season."
"The seesaw affair continued, and now it was Minnesota's turn. The Vikings needed 10 plays to travel 75 yards for their next touchdown, but 58 of those came on a bomb to Jordan Addison, who got behind cornerback Caelen Carson. That eventually led to McCarthy completely faking out the Dallas defense and basically walking in untouched from the 1-yard line, the score 14-14."
"And that was followed by Minnesota adding another three points on a 29-yard field goal, which came after Aubrey pushed a 51-yard attempt wide left on the Cowboys' previous possession. But with 1:48 remaining in the half, that was plenty of time for Prescott and company to give Aubrey another chance. The offense quickly worked its way down to the Minnesota 19-yard line, where the Cowboys kicker split the uprights on a 37-yard attempt to even things up at the break, 17-17."
Dallas suffered an upset loss to Minnesota, marking a second straight defeat and ending slim playoff hopes. The Cowboys scored early, using a Quinnen Williams interception and a fake field goal setup, and Malik Davis powered in a short touchdown. Minnesota answered with a 75-yard drive highlighted by a deep pass to Jordan Addison that set up a 1-yard touchdown. Minnesota added a field goal after a missed long attempt by Dallas, while Brandon Aubrey later converted a 37-yard kick to tie the half at 17-17. Offensive inconsistency and frustration defined Dallas' performance.
