Cowboys fall to Vikings in Sunday night setback
Dallas trailed by 14 early, then rallied to tie the NFC East lead with Philadelphia before a 28-24 loss to Minnesota. Ezekiel Elliott was heavily featured in the final drives, but a late incomplete pass sealed the defeat as Dallas dropped to 5-4 and faced playoff-contending questions. The Cowboys also lost key matchups to New Orleans and Green Bay earlier, with a puzzling Week 6 defeat at the winless Jets still lingering.

A panel of pediatric sports medicine experts reviewed thirty years of concussion research. They found teens may face higher female risk in the same sport, that limiting contact reduces head impacts in youth football, and that while helmets are used, evidence for concussion prevention is weak.
