Once upon a time, the Dallas Cowboys found themselves absolutely screwed out of a playoff game. Trailing 26-21 with under five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, Tony Romo found Dez Bryant on a fade that looked to set the Cowboys up at the Green Bay Packers’ 1-yard line.
The catch was not to be. Officials determined that Bryant did not finish the process of the catch, which gave the ball back to Aaron Rodgers, who did just enough to run out the clock.
Callers on the radio airwaves were incensed.
