The Cowboys offense is to blame for their season ending, not the refs.
Forget Dak Prescott scrambling too far. Forget the umpire colliding into the Cowboys quarterback from behind. Forget all the mechanics associated with the football not being set in time for Prescott’s spiked pass to beat the game clock and allow for a desperation heave. None of that is the reason the 2021 Cowboys are finished. What happened earlier was more damaging — and damning.
In the fallout of Sunday’s 23-17 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, much attention has been placed on the dramatic final seconds of regulation.
