Score details and reaction to NFL Thanksgiving triple-header as Dallas Cowboys beat Kansas City Chiefs and Green Bay Packers win at Detroit Lions

Here's how the first half went down Sunday night between the Dallas Cowboys and Minnesota Vikings. ARLINGTON, Texas — The Dallas Cowboys capped off a pair of first-half drives with short touchdown runs, to sit in a 17-17 tie with the Minnesota Vikings at halftime of their Sunday Night Football tilt at AT&T Stadium.

The Dallas Cowboys are 6-6-1 on the season after a loss to Detroit at Ford Field.

Down 13-3 late in the opening half, the Chargers put together a quick 60-yard touchdown drive in the final minute that ended with a 16-yard touchdown catch from wide receiver KeAndre Lambert-Smith, the first score of the rookie's career.

While the Minnesota Vikings have taken a step back this year, a big reason why is because of poor quarterback play. However, since McCarthy returned from his most recent injury, the young quarterback has looked more comfortable on the field.
