We can't help it if our fans travel well

The Vikings left tackle false started on that play before it began. The refs missed that falls start which would have killed the play and made anything following (blow to the head) irrelevant. Game. Set. Match.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Thursday night's game at U.S. Bank Stadium was the loudest crowd the Cowboys have played in front of this season.

That was mostly on display when the Vikings scored or came up with big defensive stops. But the Cowboys were well represented. On multiple occasions, "Let's Go Cowboys!" chants echoed throughout the brand new 66,000-seat stadium.

The Dallas faithful even made a difference on the game-winning play. With Minnesota trying to tie the game on a two-point conversion in the final minute, Cowboys fans got loud enough to force right tackle Jeremiah Sirles to false start.

Ezekiel Elliott noticed.

"I mean, you got to thank those Cowboys fans out there," Elliott said. "It was pretty loud. They got them to jump. You see the Vikings fans at the end trying to tell the crowd to be quiet and they realized it was all those Cowboys fans out there."

The extra five yards made things more difficult on Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford, who threw over the head of tight end Kyle Rudolph after being pressured by defensive tackle Cedric Thornton.

Remember, the Cowboys had a 40-1 ratio according to reports at Cleveland.

And 49ers players complained about Cowboys fans taking over a game earlier in the season in San Francisco.

I would be curious to hear from someone at that game - what percentage were cowboys fans. Because we have to remember Vikings are not practicing with noise during week because its home game. This is advantage for teams who travel well in doom stadiums can make difference. Gauntlet has been thrown.

Did anyone happen to hear Tirico's comment about Cowboys' fans coming out of the shadows cause of the win streak? He didn't word it that way but it sounded kind of like a shot at the fans lol.

I was told about 60/40 vikings

4th quarter Cowboys had the edge because vikings fans were leaving when they were down by 8

They don't necessarily travel well. We just reside everywhere.

But yet people get mad when Steelers or Packers fans take over AT&T.

What does anyone expect. These aren't sudden bandwagon Cowboy fans. They are cowboy fans that have decided the team has become a good use of their disposable income and if they are playing somewhere close, they will go. When a team stinks, their fans decide to use their extra funds on other entertainment options.

According to Jerry a large Canadian contingent was there. Away games are fun, I've had a blast at everyone one I've been to... Maybe less so the losses.

I was concerned that the Minny stadium would be too much for the Cowboys to deal with,,, what a great surprise to find that the Cowboys faithful showed up in enough numbers to actually make it a problem for the Vikings! :)

I agree, who doesn't love a winner. I just found it kind of amusing that he made it a point to say it when it was commented that there was a lot of Cowboy fans there.

I wish you could make this post a banner and post it all over the states. People don't buy when there's no reason to buy.

I've been a Cowboys fan since 7, I'm now 46. I've not purchased Cowboys memorabilia since my twenties, but I might be looking to purchase some stuff real soon.
