Emmitt has got it all wrong. He is the one not remembering what happened and on what plays/downs. Here, take a look...
Yes, the Cowboys passed 3 times in a row, but they did so because as usual they had absolutely no run game. Plus, on those 3 straight pass plays, the 1st and the 3rd passes were actually completions, so the clock ran on those plays. It was not the 3rd pass play where Dak threw the ball out of bounds like Emmitt clearly either forgot or remembered wrong. It was the 2nd pass where the pass went out of bounds. Even then, the Cowboys made a FG to go up by 7 points with 1:45 left in the game. Had the Cowboys ran the ball for no gain on that 2nd down, the Lions still had 1 timeout left. Yes, the completion pass by the Cowboys on the following 3rd down play would have ran 34 seconds off the clock, leaving 1:11 left in the game, but it would have likely still been enough for the Lions to drive 75 yards for a score.
