The Dallas Cowboys looked set to snatch a last-gasp win at the Minnesota Vikings but were unable to close out the game.
The visitors were trailing 28-24 and on fourth down with just over a minute to play when Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott threw past the posts, failing to connect with Ezekiel Elliott for victory.
But Cowboys defensive end Robert Quinn would have left the stadium a happy man after triggering a bonus of more than 800,000 dollars (£625,000) when he recorded his seventh sack of the season as he took down Minnesota signal-caller Kirk Cousins.
