Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said he had never seen the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on Brice Butler previously called. Actually, it happened in a 2014 game against the Redskins – the game Tony Romo was knocked out in the third quarter after fracturing two transverse process in his back.
Washington was penalized 15 yards for exactly what Butler did: Logan Paulsen was cited for entering and then leaving the huddle. The Redskins were penalized 15 yards after a Colt McCoy incompletion.
“I had never heard of that one,” Redskins coach Jay Gruden told reporters after the Redskins’ 20-17 victory.
