NFL
The Minnesota Vikings lost to the Dallas Cowboys 17-15 last night. The Vikings scored a touchdown with 30 seconds remaining, and could have tied the game with a successful two-point conversion. Sam Bradford’s pass was off the mark, but a replay clearly showed that a Dallas defender had hit him in the facemask as he threw – a penalty that should have been called, but was not. The loss drops the Vikings a game and a half behind the Detroit Lions in the NFC North Division.
