Overview
- Rookie J.J. McCarthy went 15-of-24 for 250 yards with two touchdown passes and a rushing score as Minnesota won on Sunday night in Arlington.
- Dallas converted just 2 of 12 third downs and went 2 of 5 in the red zone; Dak Prescott threw for 294 yards without a touchdown and faced a career-high 48% pressure rate.
- Brandon Aubrey missed field goals from 51 and 59 yards, including a late go-ahead attempt, after making four shorter kicks earlier.
- Defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, who had an early interception, left the game and will enter concussion protocol, according to coach Brian Schottenheimer.
- Owner Jerry Jones called the situation "very disappointing" and said it would take a "miracle" to make the postseason as Dallas' defensive problems surfaced again with zero sacks and 34 points allowed.
