Vikings Blow 14-0 Lead, Hold-Off Dallas Hail Mary to Win 28-24 on SNF

Minnesota scored the first and last touchdowns on Sunday Night Football against Dallas, and that point was even more important when Dak Prescott launched a Hail Mary to the goal line as time expired.

The first half was a tale of two quarters. The Vikings scored 14 straight in the opening quarter, but the Cowboys responded with 14 in the second quarter. Minnesota cashed in a field goal with two seconds in the half to lead 17-14 at the break.

Each team put up a field goal and a touchdown in the second half, however the Vikings converted a two-point conversion as well to, at the time, give them a seven-point, 28-21, lead.

The Cowboys got a chance to win with a Hail Mary from near midfield, but Jayron Kearse intercepted the attempt to seal the Vikings win.

Minnesota RB Dalvin Cook racked up 183 yards from scrimmage and a third-quarter rushing touchdown; 100 rushing and 86 receiving. Vikings TE Kyle Rudolph showed up with two one-yard TD receptions, and he caught the two-point conversion after Cook’s TD.
