The Cowboys hold a 37-3 lead, completely dominating the 8-1 Vikings on the road. With such a massive deficit, CBS even cut the game to Pittsburgh-Cincinnati for viewers, which obviously led to some frustration.
At this point, the game is decided and there is no reason for starters to be on the field. Nonetheless, Dallas kept their stars on the field and it may have came back to bite them. Linebacker Micah Parsons harassed Kirk Cousins and Dorance Armstrong made the sack, but Parsons got stuck under a couple players and suffered a knee injury.
Micah Parsons was slow to get up but he's now walking off of the field under his own power.
He needs to be done for the day, regardless. #Cowboys

Parsons spent a short time in the medical tent and was questionable to return, but the Cowboys brought him back on the field even with a Thanksgiving matchup with the Giants just four days away.
Dallas may have dodged a bullet.
