The Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Dallas Cowboys in a game that was decided by mere inches. With playoff implications at stake, the Cowboys’ visit to the Eagles was the biggest game of the day.
Nobody anticipated that the referees would be discussing this game extensively. That was seen on a single play in the fourth quarter when Tony Pollard’s touchdown was nullified by a penalty.
Despite a replay, Dak Prescott told the official that his lineman was listed as an eligible wide receiver, officials called the Cowboys for an unlawful formation penalty.
You can see Dak Prescott confirming with the official that #71 declared as an eligible receiver.

Poorly officiated games ruin the product. We’ve seen it as fans of the sport for too long now. Unbiasedly you can’t like the way these games are called. https://t.co/iU8UNAYhro

The refs officiated the most one-sided game I’ve ever seen but people will still say Dallas gets all the calls. https://t.co/YFgfUl1Tzy
