Don’t Forget About These Five: Clock Management, Costly Penalties And More

ARLINGTON, Texas – This game had plenty of big plays. Most of the ones for Dallas occurred early and the Falcons made plenty more in the second. That makes sense when a team trails by 11 at the half and then wins by 11.

But all games have those hidden plays that can be forgotten, but end up playing a huge factor in the outcome. Here are a handful that changed this game.

  1. Claiborne’s Drop, Penalty – Stopping Julio Jones is a nightmare task for any cornerback, but Morris Claiborne nearly made a huge play with the Falcons having first-and-goal from the 6-yard line.
