Hendershot getting falsely accused of “tripping” is not the first time Dallas has had a problem with officials getting called for this extremely rare penalty.
I take you to 2019. Dallas vs New England
Travis Frederick called for tripping when he fell down. So what? Big deal you say? Well it was a critical 3rd and 1 play late in the 4th qtr in a game that Dallas lost 13-9. Zeke had gotten the 1st down on the play btw.
Also, not the first tripping call of the day that fateful November day. Tyron Smith had also been called for tripping earlier in the game. It turned a 2nd and 13 into a 2nd-and-23, effectively stalling the Dallas drive and leading to a punt that was blocked to give New England a short field (and eventually a touchdown) in the first quarter.
Unsure of the last time you have seen a team called for tripping twice in the same game? Well.. It turns out it has happened twice against the same team in the same game before, and it happened against Dallas, too.
There has been 2 games when one team got called for 2 tripping penalties since 2009.
The last time was Week 9 of 2014, when 2 tripping penalties were called against…
The Dallas Cowboys.
But yea, totally random right?
