Thielen’s Fumble Was Difference Maker In Vikings’ Loss To Cowboys

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Kyle Wilber came to his locker to start getting dressed when a hoard of media gathered around him.

“They must think I’m Dak,” Wilber said, referring to rookie quarterback Dak Prescott.

This time, a third-string linebacker that has bounced from position to position during five years in Dallas took center stage over any of the Cowboys’ numerous playmakers.

Wilber stripped Vikings punt returner Adam Thielen and recovered the ball at the Minnesota 8-yard line in the fourth quarter, setting up a touchdown in a 17-15 victory over the Vikings for the Cowboys’ 11th straight win.
