Irving, Tex. ? It’s hard to imagine anything could overshadow Terrell Owens making his debut for the Dallas Cowboys.

Mike Vanderjagt sure gave it a shot.

With T.O. long gone by OT, Vanderjagt missed wide right on field goals of 32 and 33 yards in the extra period, forcing the Cowboys to settle for a 10-10 tie with the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night.

Dallas also was involved the last time there was a tie in a preseason game – a 13-13 finish against Detroit in London on Aug. 8, 1993. That’s the only other preseason tie in Cowboys history.

This one made Dallas 3-0-1, which still makes for the team’s first undefeated preseason since 1985.

Owens’ return means the Cowboys can worry less about his wounded hamstring. Instead, they can worry about Vanderjagt’s groin problem.

Vanderjagt sat out the last two preseason games because of it. After making a 22-yarder at halftime, he kicked off to start the second half and made an extra point with 17 seconds left in regulation.

Then came the yips.

“I have no idea what happened,” he said. “They were obviously horrible. Not enough work, I guess. But I don’t make excuses for missing two 32-yard field goals in the middle of the field.”

Dallas coach Bill Parcells wasn’t as forgiving. He was hoping not to keep two kickers – one for kickoffs – but may have to now.

“We will have to think it over,” he said. “You know, I have not seen very much. So we will see.”
