They couldn't believe the Cowboys quarterback got away with it.
On Sunday the Dallas Cowboys were backed up against their own goal line against the Baltimore Ravens in their Week 3 matchup. Dak Prescott dropped back to pass and was swarmed by Ravens defenders. As he was going down in the end zone, Prescott desperately flung the football forward in a last-ditch effort to avoid a safety. The ball was caught by guard Tyler Smith, who was immediately tackled.
While it was somewhat amusing the football world immediately assumed Prescott was not successful and the Cowboys would be flagged, leading to a safety. So when thathappen, everybody was surprised. The referees instead penalized Smith for illegal touching and Dallas punted. The bizarre sequence didn't go unnoticed by NFL fans, who were all confused by Prescott getting away with it.
Controversial play in Dallas, with Dak Prescott's throw being called for illegal touching on guard Tyler Smith rather than intentional grounding . Here's the play and the start of the discussion.Confusing play in Dallas. Dak throws a pass from the end zone with no eligible receiver in the area. Guard Tyler Smith catches it. Rather than ineligible receiver and safety, it's called "Illegal touching of the forward pass by the offense." 4th down.
It's more likely this was a mistake that will be corrected by someone in the coming days. Not that it'll make the Ravens feel any better about it, win or lose.Liam McKeone is a senior writer for the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
