But boy, given the Steelers-Pats one, you do have to wonder...
17-17, Cowboys with the ball about 4 minutes to go. A 4th and 1, and the ball is spotted after a sneak pile-up guess.
They can't figure out whether it's a first down, so out comes...
A PIECE OF PAPER!
We’re getting REAL precise here people. First down by the width of a sheet of paper? #CowboysNation #DALvsOAK @fishsports @therealmarklane pic.twitter.com/dQaMRHNNmW— Matthew Postins (@PostinsPostcard) December 18, 2017
And I'm NOT SURE he actually got it. It looked like, without moving the ball, the referee got the piece of paper in between the pole for the first down and the football. Not nearly as blatant as the other one, but it did lead to the winning field goal with 1:44 left.
The call on David Carr at the goal line was correct. He was not down, the ball was out half a yard before the goal line, and immediately landed out of bounds past the pylon. Touchback.
EDIT TO ADD: As of 11:53 PM PDT -- if you type the hashtag #Rigged into a Twitter search, the NFL Twitter account comes up as the recommended Twitter account. ROTFLMAO!
SECOND EDIT TO ADD: HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...
On the play Carr went for the pylon and missed, something else was planned?
Carr said Raiders had a play drawn up for Crabtree going the other way on that final play, but refs sent him off to get evaluated for a concussion.— Scott Bair (@BairNBCS) December 18, 2017
