However, Prescott seemed to forget about that pesky ol\u2019 rule that requires an official to touch the ball before snapping it for the next play. Prescott gave the ball to his center instead of the official, the official collided with Prescott while attempting to rest the ball, and you\u2019ll have to see it for yourself.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">What a way to end the game! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SuperWildCard?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SuperWildCard<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/esKKpbkrQn\">pic.twitter.com\/esKKpbkrQn<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 NFL (@NFL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NFL\/status\/1482879920975986690?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 17, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy is being universally panned for the decision to run Prescott in that situation, though his reasoning is entirely defensible. Would you rather have one or two Hail Mary passes at the end with a high probability of an interception? Or maybe get 15 yards closer and call an actual play?<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>The fact is Prescott has to know to hand the ball to the official in that scenario. Yes, the timing of the end of the run and the end of the game would be very tight. However, as McCarthy said in his press conference, they should have been able to get the ball spotted in that situation.<\/p>\n<p data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;}\">\u201cI have never seen that come down the way it came down as far as the collision between the umpire and the quarterback,\u201d McCarthy said. \u201cWe were trying to get inside the 30-yard line to set up that last play. The mechanics were intact, I felt, from our end of it. Communication that I was given on the sideline when they were reviewing it is they were going to put time back on the clock. The next thing I know, they\u2019re running off the field. That\u2019s all the facts I know.<\/p>\n<p id=\"continueReadBreak\" data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;}\">\u201cIt\u2019s the right decision. Just like anything, the execution, and the officiating spotting the ball wasn\u2019t in tune. We should not have had any trouble getting the ball spotted there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;}\">It doesn\u2019t mean that it would have worked even if Prescott had handed the ball to the official, but the opportunity Dallas would have had from the 25-yard line would have been more advantageous than the other scenarios. McCarthy is correct about that.<\/p>\n<p data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;}\">Don\u2019t expect that to make Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones feel any better though.<\/p>\n<p data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;}\">\u201cExtraordinarily disappointed,\u201d Jones said after the game. \u201cVery disappointed. Disappointed for our fans. \u2026This is quite a letdown. They outplayed us.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Cowboys have now gone 11 straight playoff appearances WITHOUT reaching the conference title game.<\/p>\n<p>The longest streak of all-time. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/s2bhjSEyet\">pic.twitter.com\/s2bhjSEyet<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SportsCenter\/status\/1482883009258868745?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 17, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-t=\"{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;blueLinks&quot;}\">It was the right call, but that may not save McCarthy\u2019s job.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the Cowboys drove down the field in the waning moments of Sunday\u2019s Wild-Card matchup against the 49ers, anyone who has ever watched the Cowboys for a considerable period of &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":92,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1219473","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1219473","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/92"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1219473"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1219473\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1219473"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1219473"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1219473"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
