ARLINGTON, TX -- Jason Garrett finally looked like a Dallas Cowboys fan who was sick and tired of ... well ... Jason Garrett. The coach best known for his maddeningly agreeable disposition, for clapping his way through victory and defeat with the same cadence and conviction, finally felt his fan base's pain.
He slammed his red challenge flag at the feet of side judge Scott Edwards and fired off some unsportsmanlike nouns and verbs. "Abusive language toward an official," was how referee Ron Torbert later described it. Edwards dramatically reached for his yellow flag and threw it high in a take-that form, deducting 15 yards from the 27-yard Amari Cooper catch that was erroneously ruled incomplete before being corrected on review.
