The 2021 Thanksgiving game against the Las Vegas Raiders is memorable. But that game was not memorable due to the outcome. You likely remember that matchup as the week where both teams combined for 28 penalties for 276 yards. One of the 28 was an Anthony Brown pass interference that allowed Daniel Carlson to knock through the game-winner.
But this game was symptomatic of the 2021 Dallas Cowboys season. With a league-leading 141 penalties committed, they surrendered 1,192 yards on whistles and yellow flags. It seemed as though Dallas had to overcome their opponent and their own mistakes simultaneously.
