Crew moved Cowboys' first down marker in Patriots game, what happened?

Everyone has a conspiracy theory when it comes to the New England Patriots. They have a streak of 10 or more wins each season that started before the invention of the iPhone, but to hear some tell it, it’s only because the Patriots get more calls from officials than other teams.

This week, a video of the chain crew moving the first-down marker after the Dallas Cowboys started a series of downs was under the microscope.

Cowboys fans have a good argument that their team was hosed on a phantom tripping call on center Travis Frederick late in the game, but what happened with the crew moving the first-down marker a yard further when the Cowboys had the ball?
