Had Dez been given a TD on that play the Packers would have had over 4 minutes to win the game on a FG. Had the Cowboys gone for 2 and were successful the Packers could have tied the game on a FG and won it with a TD. All the Packers were trying to do on their final possession was move the chains and eat up the clock and the Cowboys couldn't stop them. Green Bay moved the ball all the way to the Cowboys 31 yard line and with 1:43 left Rodgers took a knee on the Packers final 3 plays. The Cowboys still would have lost the game had Dez scored the Cowboys D couldn't stop the Packers in the second half.
The Cowboys had plenty of opportunities to build a sizable lead with Rodgers off his game but the game turned with less than a minute to go in the first half on a poor play call on 3rd and one which forced the Cowboys to attempt a FG which got partially blocked. With 29 seconds left the Packers drove from their own 40 to the Cowboys 22 and kicked a FG which made it a 6 point swing. Instead of a 17-7 halftime lead the Cowboys were clinging to a 14-10 lead. The first half ended on a bad note for the Cowboys and it carried over to the second half. Rodgers started getting hot and the Packers ended up outscoring the Cowboys 16-7 in the second half.
For those who think the game was stolen from the Cowboys on a call you need to go back and re watch the game. All we're going to hear from a few is how the Cowboys got robbed when they clearly were out played in the second half. The Cowboys defense had no answers for Davante Adams a rookie who broke several tackles and toasted the defense for 117 yards on 7 catches. For the kind of money Dez is looking for that should have been him but he didn't show up. Rodgers on a torn calf shredded the defense for 316 yards and 3 TD's and Eddie Lacy added 101 yards rushing. The Packers were the better team last Sunday.
Well, it obviously wasn't a touchdown. Not sure what you're looking at?
But it would have been 1st and 10 on the goal line with roughly 3:59 left.
As mentioned in another thread. Put the Knee down once, let the the clock run. that runs at least, at least a few minutes.,..puts us at roughly, 1:50ish left. and that is being generous.
GB would have no Timeouts
There would have been a kick off and a momentum crazed cowboys team on the field
You give me the Dez catch , at the one. a million out of a million times I bet the farm on a W.
