You know the play. It was one of the biggest ones from Sunday night’s Dallas Cowboys loss to the Minnesota Vikings. With barley any time left the Cowboys managed to force a Vikings punt that gave them a prayer (literally, as they’d soon dial up a Hail Mary) of a chance. Of course, all of this came after the Cowboys ran the ball on second and third down, but we’re moving past that for this conversation.
The Minnesota Vikings punted to the timeout-less Dallas Cowboys inside of the game’s final minute. As Dallas was down by four they needed a touchdown to win and with a Hail Mary being the team’s only real shot, they were going to need every possible yard to make it doable.
