The Schoonmaker play at the 1

[FVSTONE]

Can you guarantee me that if he runs his route IN the end zone thus bringing him closer to the defender the defender doesn't just tackle him outright preventing him from even having a chance to make the catch and the refs all keep their flags in their pockets?

Unfortunately, we'll never know, but if he does run his route IN the end zone and you get the same result as you got on that play it's a TD and maybe the Cowboys walk away with a victory. It's mind boggling at the number of plays where receivers and TEs run their routes only to come up short when they make their catch before they didn't start their cuts or breaks AFTER they've passed the 1st down marker.
