Dallas Cowboys: What went wrong against the Patriots on Sunday?

You get a flag! You get a flag! Everyone gets a flag!

If you understood that Oprah Winfrey reference, then you know what I’m talking about. Instead of sitting here losing my mind over what happened, I want to make a joke so that I remain sane. What happened was still terrible though.

There was the infamous “tripping” call against Frederick that caused the Cowboys to lose what would have been a first down. It ended up being a turnover on downs on a drive to take the lead late in the game.

For everyone doubting if it was the right call, the NFL came out and said it wasn’t. For everyone that knew it was a bad call, we get a reminder of what could have been.

Sure this doesn’t mean Dallas would have gotten a touchdown, but it sure looked like they had a good chance.

For a good reason, countless people freaked out on the tripping call against Frederick. Now, what if I reminded you that there was another one earlier in the game against tackle Tyron Smith? Now, what if I told you it led to the blocked punt?

That call was also ruled by the NFL to not be a penalty. Two crucial calls, two crucial results, and two times that Dallas got the bad end of the stick.
