[John813]

Looked like he ran into a brick wall

 

[mattjames2010]

Lucky's ok again, right?

No

 

[MrPeanutbutter]

No Witten and no Beasley so far. Whay gives?

Maybe the Eagles gameplanned them?

 

[revospeed]

Zeke got folded up awkwardly there.

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

Give it to Zeke

 

[dallasfan4lizife]

Omg. All these damn commercials.

 

[Cmac]

No Witten and no Beasley so far. What gives?

2nd half....Eagles giving attention

 

[Jack Burton]

The Cowboys can't rely on improbable road win streaks forever.

I agree man. I agree.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Are we going to be subjected to the "feed me" thing for the next decade?

I hope so.

There are multiple reasons for an illegal touching penalty, a 5 yard offense: 1) A forward pass is caught by an illegible receiver such as an offensive lineman. 2) On a forward pass, the receiver steps out of bounds and doesn't re-establish himself in bounds before catching the pass.

Per the NFL's operations website:

ARTICLE 8. ILLEGAL TOUCHING OF A FORWARD PASS
It is a foul for illegal touching if a forward pass (legal or illegal), thrown from behind the line of scrimmage:

1. is first touched intentionally or is caught by an originally ineligible offensive player; or
   Penalty: Loss of five yards.
   
   
2. first touches or is caught by an eligible receiver who has gone out of bounds, either of his own volition or by being legally forced out of bounds, and has re-established himself inbounds.
   Penalty: Loss of down.

Note 1: If a forward pass (legal or illegal) is caught by an ineligible offensive player, the ball remains alive.

Note 2: The bat of a pass in flight by any player does not end a pass, nor does it change the impetus if the bat sends it in touch.

Note 3: If a player touches the ball after having been out of bounds, but prior to re-establishing himself inbounds with both feet or any part of his body other than his hands, the pass is incomplete, and there is no penalty for illegal touching.

We need 7 on this drive!

 

[jordan4vols]

Zeke got up grimacing

 

[jazzcat22]

who gets the ball to start the 2nd half? I missed half of the first Qtr.

Iggles

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

I feel like sometimes Zeke seeks out the contact when he should maybe try a juke or two, but what do I know.

 

[65fastback2plus2]

Zeke squinting his face awkwardly...not a good sign

 

[mattjames2010]

can Zeke stop with the rheatrics

Don't worry about it.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

Zeke went down awkward there

 

[9of11]

Man I was hoping Zeke would be closer to 100 yards by half time to keep his streak going.

 

[kevm3]

Way too many commercials.

 

[Elusive6thRing]

Think about it this way it's not that they're outplaying us at all, we're being dumb and the refs are helping them. Lucky gets us in the 5 and we run MORRIS ***? Now that we're back to feeding Zeke we're looking good again.
