The NFL’s explanation for Cowboys “in the grasp” whistle is even more absurd than the penalty itself

The Dallas Cowboys lost on Saturday night and saw their season come to an end. They made mistakes and weren’t good enough. That’s the truth.

What’s also true though is that the game was loosely officiated. There were missed calls and questionable decisions, most notably an “in the grasp” whistle that effectively ended a Cowboys drive that could have produced points.

Dallas was moving the ball and hoping to get points right before the half since they’d get the ball to begin the second half (they did nothing with that possession for what it’s worth).
