Cowboys history could have changed if Dez Bryant's catch vs. Packers wasn't infamously overturned

Every NFL playoff game changes legacies. And one play can change a playoff game.

The Dallas Cowboys know. Their history might look a lot different today had Dez Bryant’s catch at Lambeau Field two years ago not been overturned.

Here’s a refresher on the controversial play, which lives on in “You caught it, fam” messages to Bryant on Twitter. On fourth-and-2 with 4:42 left and the Cowboys trailing 26-21, Tony Romo threw it deep to Bryant. Bryant seemed to make an amazing catch for a 32-yard gain down to Dallas’ 1-yard line. But the Packers challenged, and even though it looked like a catch, officials ruled Bryant didn’t complete the catch.
