Maybe Jerry Jones had his eyes closed.

The Minnesota Vikings beat Dallas 27-10, much to the delight of the roaring Metrodome zanies, many of whom, seem to have purple faces. The Cowboys, then-faces were red. Once-proud warriors looked frustrated. Young bucks looked bewildered. De-ion Sanders looked ready to don his fur coat and ponder options like baseball and televised revivals.

The game went just like the 1999 season. Dallas had so many chances. Dallas never had a chance. The Cowboys tried everything. Twelve men on the field.

Dropped passes. Caught passes later dropped. Most amazing, Gailey managed to get outcoached by Dennis Green, which takes some doing. The Vikings entered with unmatched offensive fireworks. The world's best receiver in Randy Moss.

"It's a big win for this team to come all the way to Seattle and play in front of a hostile crowd," said Marino, who engineered an 11-play, 85-yard drive capped by J.J. Johnson's 2-yard run for the winning score with 4:48 left. "It's as loud as it gets here in the Kingdome. We just had to be patient." Marino was at his best on that drive, going 4-for-7 for 84 yards, including completions of 23 yards to Tony Martin on third-and-17 from his 13, and a 24-yard third-down completion to Oronde Gadsden at the 5-yard line that set up Johnson's game-winner. "Dan did a great jot of executing the plan, he did a great job of throwing the ball," said coach Jimmy Johnson, who hasn't been on great terms with Marino for much of this year.

Now Stan a new gaffe to their repertoire on Sunday: too many men on the field on a punt return. "This was reminiscent of the year that we had," said quarterback Troy Aikman. "You get in a game like this, it comes down to a few plays. They made the most of their opportunities and made plays, and we failed to do that.

We had our chances, and was a microcosm of the Cowboys' season away from Texas Stadium. Dallas failed to seize control in the opening 20 minutes, consistently bungled and lived to regret it. Again. Too many penalties. Turnovers.
