Down by 3 points with 1:07 to play and one timeout left in the divisional round game, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott completed an 11-yard pass to Jason Witten for a first down on the Green Bay Packers 40. The Cowboys hurried to the line and spiked the ball, stopping the clock with 48 seconds left, saving their final timeout. Clocking the ball in that situation is not the usual tactic, and was very likely a mistake, but it only seems so costly because of the improbable events that followed.
No, Cowboys' fourth-quarter spike didn't kill them vs. Packers
