A 48-yard field goal by Kai Forbath late in the first quarter has given the Vikings a 3-0 lead over the Cowboys in the first quarter.

The Vikings thought they’d recovered a fumble deep in Cowboys’ territory prior to the field goal drive, but it was overturned on review. A holding penalty on Alex Boone negated a third-down conversion run by Zach Line just prior to the field goal.

The Cowboys struggled to sustain offense on their first two drives, but Ezekiel Elliott got 29 yards on his first six carries.
