Week 18 Est.
This is not unlike what happened in Week 9 between the Cowboys and Eagles. Chuma Edoga was penalized for flagging himself late in the fourth quarter as Dallas attempted a comeback. That’s what the Cowboys learned. What happened in the win against the Lions confirms the belief that this will never happen again in Dallas.
“Look at how we played in Philadelphia,” coach Mike McCarthy said. \”… I want to make a big deal out of communication… but this is an unacceptable mistake. “It’s the longest transition to get to the goal line, so that’s always the focus.”

Rico Dowdle was ruled out with an ankle problem.
