Even a flag football owner ripped the Cowboys’ disastrous, final play in a 19-12 divisional-round loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
“That was a stupid-ass play,” United Flag Football League owner Norm McLean said of the long-shot attempt to score. “I don’t understand what they were trying to accomplish.”
On the ill-fated play, Dallas lined up in a formation that looked like one from a flag football playbook or a backyard game. Running back Ezekiel Elliott played center with linemen and other players split wide. The result was awful.
49ers linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair trucked Elliott, and Cowboys QB Dak Prescott rushed a short pass to WR KaVontae Turpin, who was tackled as soon as he caught the ball.
