Ball don’t lie: 3 worst calls from Week 3 in the NFL
By Mark Powell
Cowboys: Dak Prescott robbed of obvious touchdown
The Cowboys still managed to defeat the Philadelphia Eagles by 20 points, but I can assure you that in the moment, the state of shock from fans and commentators that Dak Prescott’s quarterback sneak was not ruled a touchdown, was felt far outside of AT&T Stadium.
The call on the field is often a killer, no matter how obvious the replay makes the right decision out to be. Officials don’t like admitting that they’re wrong.
Prescott’s facial expression says it all.
The Cowboys have one of the best offensive lines in football when healthy, and Prescott had to gain less than a yard. Considering they won the line of scrimmage on this play, for Dak not to gain that yard would be an extreme disappointment.
Or, in this case, it was stolen from him.
