The Dallas Cowboys threatened to rally from a 31-3 deficit to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.
When Brett Maher’s 33-yard field goal missed wide right with 1:44 remaining it put an end to the Cowboys hopes. It also quelled a potential officiating controversy that saw the Cowboys benefit from a bizarre roughing-the-passer call earlier in the drive.
On first-and-10 at the Dallas 46, quarterback Dak Prescott scrambled for a 14-yard gain. As he tucked the ball for the run play, Packers linebacker Rashan Gary brushed Prescott’s helmet with his left hand.
Roughing the ‘passer’
Prescott ran unharmed for the first down.
