ARLINGTON, Texas -- Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll candidly voiced his displeasure with the officiating in his team's 41-35 loss to the Dallas Cowboys Thursday night, including what he called an "error" on a pivotal play in the first half.
Carroll was also upset over what he viewed as over-officiating in the NFL. The two teams combined for 19 penalties and 257 penalty yards.
"It's unfortunate that it feels like there was a whole 'nother factor in this game," Carroll said unprompted to open his postgame news conference. "I don't know, you guys saw it a lot better than I did, but there was just way too many penalties in this game, for both sides.
