Cowboys vs. Vikings

I had a blast yesterday covering my first NFL game as the Cowboys took on the Vikings. I photographed two full seasons of Mizzou football while I was in school but I didn't know if pro ball would be entirely different. The pace was definitely a little faster than a college team and the action was at a higher intensity but otherwise it wasn't any different. 

The DMN staff had four photographers on the field so coverage was divided into quadrants. Each photographer was responsible for half of one sideline and half of one end zone. We picked our sides through a random drawing on little crumpled pieces of paper. I had mostly Vikings action coming my way so the photos are representative of that.
