Brice Butler Rips Refs Following Packers Win vs. Cowboys in NFC Divisional Round

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brice Butler vented his frustration with the officiating in his team's 34-31 defeat to the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Divisional Round on Sunday.

Officials flagged Butler for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after he entered the huddle but didn't participate in a play in the first quarter.

"Never heard of it in my life," Butler said of the penalty, per NFL Network's Jane Slater. "[We] couldn't beat the stripes. You can quote me on that."

Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett concurred with Butler in that he'd never seen the rule enforced during a game, per ESPN's Ed Werder.
