Cowboys Don't Get Off Final Play vs. 49ers After Questionable Play Call, Ref Controversy

Given their massive fanbase and high-profile owner, Cowboys playoff games are rarely boring. Sunday's chaotic ending against the 49ers in the wild-card round might have set a new standard for postseason mayhem.

Dallas mounted an impressive comeback, cutting a 23-7 fourth-quarter deficit to 23-17. The Cowboys got the ball at their own 20-yard line with 32 seconds left and no timeouts remaining, then subsequently drove to San Francisco's 41-yard line with 14 seconds remaining. Then, everything went haywire. The Cowboys ran a quarterback draw, with Dak Prescott scampering up the middle to the 49ers's 24-yard line. As the clock continued to tick down, Dallas hurried to get set up to spike the ball. After sliding to end his run, Prescott got up and handed the ball to his center, who got ready to snap it. But by rule, the referee must touch and spot the ball before the next play can begin.

How do you expect to win with 14 penalties?

So everyone wants to blame JJ or MM but to me this falls on Quinn. He was supposed to force Jimmy G to throw by stopping the run. We all knew the were going to run yet they couldn't stop it.

Elite 😂

Lol hold this L dallascowboys I love it

Lost to a better team. NFC East 🤡

'They are who we thought they were...' choke artists in the playoffs.

Why the shocked reaction? They do this every year.

theMMQB Past is prologue. This is the Jerry Jones Cowboys.

WTF happened? 🤨

All that just to end at the same time as the eagles 💀

They tried to spot the ball themselves and then threw a block at the ref coming in. I bet if they just handed it to the ref then they would have gotten off another play

Michael_Fabiano the stupidest play call in history.

They folded!

SI_outofbounds You don’t run 20 yards with no timeouts. Brain dead quarterbacking.

theMMQB The center can’t spot the ball 🏈

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

A lack of intelligence is the only answer.

Michael_Fabiano 14 freaking penalties. Just awful. Cowboys beat themselves today.

Stupidity happened. dak had a few substantial brain farts and the defence played with less intensity than the cheerleaders did. Typical dallascowboys to choke. Another year and more lame excuses. Soft

The Cowboys penalties hurt them, especially the one that gave San Francisco 4 more downs with a minute left

Nothing “happened” to the Cowboys. They did themselves in. Period. End of statement. Have a good night. Have a good life. Cowboys suck from ownership on down.

As a 50 year Packer fan, enjoy the Mike McCarthy era....

This was not a ref controversy get out of here

theMMQB They were stupid.
