Halftime: Minnesota 14, Dallas 7.

As usual, I’m a little late, because rarely do I ever make it before the second quarter. We’re at the two-minute warning, and the Cowboys are moving the ball.

Both teams scored on their first drive, and due to both taking up most of the first quarter, each team has had only a handful of possessions thus far. The Cowboys opened the game by going 80 yards in 14 plays, and Tony Romo found T.O. for a 5-yard touchdown. The Vikings responded by going 69 yards in 11 plays, and Adrian Peterson scored on a 20-yard run.

And, while I’m typing this, Crayton makes a catch right out of the two-minute warning, the ball gets knocked loose, Ben Leber scoops it up, then pitches it to Cedric Griffin, who returns it for a touchdown.

That’s the second time in the game that the Cowboys have hurt themselves with a fumble on a potential scoring drive. On the previous drive, Dallas went to the 9, but then Romo was hit, the ball came loose, and the Vikings recovered.

On this play, it looks like Romo may have injured himself, and he hobbled off the field, careful not to put weight on one leg. He’s had a great first half, going 21 of 24 for 182 yards, but those two fumbles have cost he and Dallas dearly, as instead of it being a double-digit Dallas lead, the Vikings are ahead 14-7.

It looks like Romo might have injured his hamstring, but all indications are that he’s going to stay in. How effective he’ll be, well, we’ll just have to see.

Minnesota has done next to nothing on offense, and Peterson has been bottled up outside of his touchdown run, but those turnovers have kept them in it and given them a chance to win. As for Dallas, the offense is on pace for another 400-plus yard day, though the run game hasn’t been used all that much, as has been the case in the last few games.

0:28: Romo indeed stays in, and has the Cowboys on the move, completing two passes to Jason Witten, one to Marion Barber, and one to T.O. to get Dallas inside the Minnesota 40 with plenty of time still on the clock.

0:20: Romo throws his 30th pass of the half and completes it to Barber, but it goes nowhere, and Barber gets tackled in-bounds, so Dallas has to use their second timeout.

Halftime: Romo, under pressure, throws to Barber, which loses one yard and forces Dallas to use their final timeout. On third down, Romo completes a pass to Witten, and he gets it to the 32, so Folk will come on for a long field goal attempt, which misses wide left. So, the Cowboys have driven into Minnesota territory four times in five possessions and outgained the Vikings 250-77, and gotten 16 first downs to Minnesota’s five, but the Vikings go into halftime thanking the man above that they somehow have a 14-7 lead.
