The NFL’s senior vice president of officiating confirmed in his weekly video that referee Tony Corrente correctly called a 15-yard penalty on the Cowboys for unsportsmanlike conduct.
The Cowboys faced a second-and-five from the Green Bay 37 on their second possession when Dak Prescott completed a 22-yard pass to Terrance Williams. But two officials threw flags, negating the gain and stepping off a 15-yard penalty on Butler.
Butler first entered the huddle but then was replaced by fullback Keith Smith.
“The rule is pretty straight forward in terms of the way it reads,” Dean Blandino said.
