All of Cowboys Country was believing it, watching the group pull off an overtime 35-29 sway New England on Sunday. A few of the gamers were believing it, too.
But just Ezekiel Elliott and also Randy Gregory said it aloud.
After a flag-filled video game that saw Dallas attract 12 penalties as well as surrender 115 backyards of area setting, and also after one especially questionable call that definitely seemed to take a rushing goal away from Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, his very own running back came right out and also admitted that the team was facing 2 opponents in Week 6.
One had dark blue attires; the other wore black as well as white red stripes.
"There's no justification for that,". "That's ridiculous, the way they called that game tonight. But a minimum of we had the ability to overcome the Patriots ... as well as the zebras."
What a lot more video clip evidence do you need that racked up a TD on the 3rd down QB slip?

It's a historical tradition that neither gamers neither trains slam NFL authorities in a meeting or interview setup. Elliott might well be fined by the organization for that jab.
However he wasn't even the only Cowboys player who went on the record as stating referee Brad Allen's team had an off night in Foxborough.
"I think it was a poorly-called video game by the refs, if I wish to be sincere,". During his three-tackle efficiency, the edge rush scratched 2 sacks and also forced a fumble. Gregory created at least one flag to be thrown on a Patriots electrician, however he felt like authorities missed out on numerous various other phone calls over the course of the game.
"You have actually got to fight through it," the Nebraska item stated. "We can just bother with ourselves, which's what we did. Luckily, we appeared the victor."
There were missed out on phone calls, to make sure, just as there are in every NFL game. However New England was charged with just five fines on the day. And admittedly, not every decision went New England's way. Officials missed a face mask grab, for instance, by Cowboys cornerback Anthony Brown; Patriots followers are just as upset about that non-call as the Cowboys faithful are about the calls that set you back Dallas.
None was larger, though, than the 3rd down play when Prescott's evident goal-line press really did not also get examined. The sphere was knocked out of his hands on the really following play as he attempted to cross the airplane of the end zone. Yet the fourth-down dive shouldn't have been essential, Prescott says, since he was sure he participated the prior snap.
On the 3rd down play, the ruling on the field was DAL 4 was short of the goal line. After looking at all the offered angles, there was no clear and obvious video evidence to rescind the judgment.

"I assumed I did,". "I've reached squeeze the sphere tighter on the fourth. I believed I originally had gone across, as well as maybe that's why I believe I will pull it back. Yeah, the guy obtained it out. Yeah, I assumed I did."
2 Cowboys electrician were much more deliberately obscure when responding to concerns about authorities.
"When the calls aren't in your hands, you have actually reached be able to move on," in the Gillette Stadium passage.
"Simply neglect it, maintain pushing ahead,". "That's all you can do."
Or you can speak your mind as well as run the risk of a put on the wrist and a monetary fine from the organization for calling out a below average efficiency from the third group on the area.
"Their front was tough, definitely hard, especially because situation," Elliott said of the Patriots protection.
But he additionally thinks the officials were the ones that in fact avoided a Cowboys goal.
"We have to determine a method to get in there," Elliott took place. "I believed we acted. The refs assumed various, but that was type of the tale tonight."
