What were the Dallas Cowboys thinking?

That seemed to be the question during the fourth quarter of Dallas' Thanksgiving Day game against the Washington Football Team.

Down 20-16 and looking for any kind of spark, the Cowboys elected to try to fake punt -- from well inside their own territory. Washington sniffed it out, shut it down, and the Cowboys quickly became the laughingstock of Twitter.

Shout out to @dallascowboys special teams for the worst executed fake punt I've seen since pee wee days.

Washington wasted no time making the blunder hurt, scoring a touchdown on the very next play. That proved to be the final nail in the Cowboys' coffin, as they didn't score again while WFT rolled to a 41-16 win.
