The San Francisco 49ers defeated the Dallas Cowboys with a score of 23-17. The entire AT&T Stadium became hostile. Their own home was not safe for the Cowboys. 

The home fans were very disappointed with their team. It looks like the Cowboys’ fans are not handling the playoffs loss very well. They were angry at their team and even the officials. And just like classic Texas fashion, the fans let everybody know how they felt. 

The controversial ending to the game

During the wild-card game, the Cowboys were at the receiving end of some questionable calls. And it is safe to say that the fans were not happy with the officiating. 

The main issues came towards the end of the game. It was utter chaos. The pressure was on the Cowboys. They were 6 points down. Dallas was trying to do everything that they possibly could. In the very last play of the game, quarterback Dak Prescott decided to take charge. With 14 seconds left on the clock, Prescott took off with the ball. He scrambled to gain some yardage, but things did not necessarily go as planned.

The quarterback rushed towards the 20-yard line, and the 49ers’ defense stopped him. There were still a few seconds left on the clock. Prescott panicked, and in an attempt to use those seconds, he forgot how football works. The 28-year-old did not hand the official the ball, instead, he gave it to his center. This did not stop the clock, and the Cowboys lost all the time. The game ended, and San Francisco advanced to the second round.

However, knowing the nature of the Dallas Cowboys fans, we can assume that nobody was safe. And yet again, the Cowboys have fallen short in the playoffs.
