"When it appeared that the Cowboys' opening drive had stalled out, they were given new life thanks to a fake field goal. The play was orchestrated perfectly as holder Bryan Anger delivered an over-the-shoulder toss to Brandon Aubrey as he took off running to his right. The Cowboys' All-Pro kicker picked up the yards they needed before sliding to the turf."
"Statistically, the yardage total wasn't lucrative as the Vikings finished with just 327 total yards, the Cowboys' third-lowest number of yards allowed this season. But when Minnesota pushed, the Cowboys' defense couldn't make stops and gave up points quickly. The Vikings scored four touchdowns on the night, and three of those drives took less than four minutes. It happened so fast, the Cowboys' defense didn't even know what hit them."
Dallas fell 34-26 to Minnesota after an early promising start. A batted pass that landed in Quinnen Williams' arms led to an immediate defensive stop and a Cowboys touchdown on the opening possession, extended by a successful fake field goal. Minnesota managed just 327 total yards but converted quickly when needed, scoring four touchdowns, three on drives under four minutes. The Cowboys' defense repeatedly failed to make critical stops, and the offense, despite reaching Vikings territory on nine of ten drives, frequently could not finish possessions, leaving the team short in a vital late-season game.
