Facing elimination in an NFC Divisional playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers, the Dallas Cowboys needed something miraculous on their final play last night.
Trailing 19-12 with only 6 seconds remaining, the Cowboys pulled out something they’ve surely (we hope) been working on in practice for end of game situations that require something special.
Running back Ezekiel Elliott lined up at center in front of quarterback Dak Prescott with all other players spread wide to both the left and right.
Things didn’t go as expected:

As you might expect, the Internet is having a field day at the Cowboys’ expense.

“I was kind of mad I wasn’t out there on the last one but I guess they wanted some faster guys than me. Zeez just dumped him over & Jimmie cleaned him up. Ended it real quick.”
