Dallas Cowboys star wide receiver Dez Bryant tweets about the controversial overturned catch against the Green Bay Packers.

The Green Bay Packers were able to pull off a huge 26-21 win over the Dallas Cowboys, but there was yet another controversial call. Last week in the Cowboys’ win over the Detroit Lions, there was a no-call on what many saw as an obvious pass interference against Dallas.

This week against the Packers, they had a Dez Bryant catch overturned in a very controversial way.

Dallas was facing a fourth-and-2 in Green Bay territory, when Romo found Bryant down the field on the one yard-line. Bryant was credited with a catch and it appeared that it was going to be first and goal at the one, but instead Mike McCarthy challenged the play and the catch was overturned.

Bryant was fuming, as was every member of the Cowboys organization on the sidelines.

It was definitely a controversial play, but the referees got it right this time around.

Bryant took the time to get on Twitter following the game, and make a brief comment about the play.

as I went to the ground I rolled over and I tipped the ball to gain better control.. We lost and I accept it but please change that rule

Should the rule be looked at? Absolutely. In this case, however, the refs got it right and the Packers will move on to face the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Championship game.

Here is the play for those of you who have yet to see it or want to see it again:

Obviously it’s always disappointing to see a game end in controversy, especially with how much there has been this season. Referees aren’t always perfect, but one would think that they would be much better than they are. Either way, the game is over and the Cowboys put together a great season.
