With just under two minutes to go in the first half at AT&T Stadium on Sunday, the Cowboys had scored their third touchdown of the game and were apparently sailing in open waters with the wind at their backs, up 24-13. They were playing a young and talented Los Angeles Rams team that is certainly improved, but not up for this type of road challenge against a team that is simply better.
Everything was going very well. The patrons were quite pleased.
That was at about 1:25 p.m. yesterday in Arlington, when the officials reviewed what was a pretty clear touchdown by Brice Butler and reversed their own dubious judgement.
