The Dallas Cowboys won a close and controversial contest against the Oakland Raiders on Week 15 that’s created not so much a fire storm, but rather a small camp fire that’ll soon be extinguished by the next squirt gun that gets close.
The 20-17 victory was iced in the closing seconds when Oakland quarterback Derek Carr lost control of the football after having scrambled inside the five yard-line, which had already created a first-and-goal scenario for the Raiders.
Carr’s fumble crossed the goal line in the air near the corner pylon and rolled out of bounds on the sideline in the end zone, thus creating a turnover that not only cost the Raiders the game, but also any realistic hopes for the AFC playoffs.
