Cowboys Vs. Packers: Without Timeouts, Wade Phillips Unable To Challenge Green Bay Fumble Return For TD

As if matters couldn’t get worse for the Cowboys on Sunday night, Dallas fell behind 21-0 late in the second quarter after a Greg Jennings touchdown catch only for the ensuing kickoff to be initially ruled a fumble and returned for another touchdown by Nick Collins.

Broadcast reviews showed that the fumble by Bryan McCann should have been overturned as his knee hit the ground before the ball came out, however the Cowboys were out of timeouts and the fumble occurred just before the two-minute warning, meaning the close call would not trigger an automatic review by the officials.

So expect this to yet again be used as an example of Wade Phillips ineptitude - to exhaust all the teams timeouts, when keeping even one of them could have prevented an opponent’s touchdown.
