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.
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.
