Cowboys Win 11th Straight
Brace Hemmelgarn-USA TODAY Sports
Dak should be smiling along with the rest of the Dallas Cowboys squad. They have won 11 straight games and defeated the Minnesota Vikings 17 to 15.
With Dallas trailing 3 to 0 in the second-quarter, Ezekiel Elliott scored on a 1-yard touchdown run. He finished with 86 rushing yards and 1 touchdown, along with 4 catches for 19 yards receiving.
Minnesota took a 9 to 7 lead in the fourth-quarter. Kai Forbath kicked 3 field-goals. He made them from 48, 36, and 33 yards out.
After Dallas forced a turnover, Dez Bryant scored on a 8-yard touchdown pass from Dak Prescott. Prescott finished with 139 yards passing and 1 touchdown, along with 37 rushing yards. Bryant finished with 4 catches for 84 yards receiving and 1 touchdown.
With Dallas leading 17 to 9 with under 3 minutes remaining, Dak Prescott apparently rushed for a first down, until Minnesota challenged and he was ruled short.
Minnesota would get the ball back and score on a 3-yard touchdown pass to Jerrick McKinnon from Sam Bradford. Bradford finished with 247 passing yards and 1 touchdown. They would attempt the 2-point conversion, but they would be called for a false start. On the next play, Bradford threw it no man's land, but the Dallas defender hit Bradford in the helmet and no flag was called.
They tried the onside kick and Dallas recovered. The Cowboys will travel to face the New York Giants (8-3) next Sunday Night.
