"It took two plays for things to get legitimately exciting. Donovan Wilson got pressure in J.J. McCarthy's face and wisely put his hand up to block a pass. That errant ball landed in the expectant arms of Quinnen Williams to give the Cowboys a turnover and more importantly... the ball! After a couple of plays the Cowboys appeared to stall out and had to settle for a Brandon Aubrey field goal. They didn't, though! They ran a fake! And got it!"
"Amazingly the Cowboys got down to another fourth down and went for it yet again, although this time conventionally by way of a Javonte Williams run. After getting it Javonte was in the end zone one play later. SCORE: COWBOYS 7, VIKINGS 0 (Javonte Williams touchdown) The Cowboys defense went to work and while they were not able to generate a turnover they did force a punt. Dante Fowler was a particular point of pride on the possession in question and helped stop Aaron Jones."
"Unfortunately KaVontae Turpin let a punt go that he maybe should have fielded. The bounce really worked against Dallas and put them just about on their own goal line. Malik Davis was in at running back for the possession as it was reported that Javonte Williams was dealing with a shoulder injury. Ultimately the Cowboys wound up punting after a three and out as they did not want to get too cute."
The Cowboys' defense forced an early turnover when Donovan Wilson blocked a pass that Quinnen Williams intercepted, giving Dallas immediate possession. The offense converted field position into points, executing a successful fake field goal and later converting a fourth down to set up Javonte Williams' touchdown, putting the Cowboys ahead 7-0. Dallas' defense pushed again and forced a punt, though a misplayed punt by KaVontae Turpin pinned Dallas near its own goal line. Javonte Williams left briefly with a shoulder issue, Malik Davis took carries, and Minnesota responded when J.J. McCarthy connected with Jalen Nailor for a tying touchdown.
