The Cowboys hold a 7-6 lead over the Vikings early in the fourth quarter Thursday night.

As they’ve done all season, the Cowboys have tightened after long drives and held the Vikings to two Kai Forbath field goals.

Through three quarters, the Cowboys are just 1-of-6 in converting third downs. They scored the game’s only touchdown on a 1-yard run by Ezekiel Elliott in the second quarter.

Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford left the game after taking a shot to the ribs late in the second quarter. He returned to the game for the third quarter.
