On Sunday the Dallas Cowboys were backed up against their own goal line against the Baltimore Ravens in their Week 3 matchup. Dak Prescott dropped back to pass and was swarmed by Ravens defenders. As he was going down in the end zone, Prescott desperately flung the football forward in a last-ditch effort to avoid a safety. The ball was caught by guard Tyler Smith, who was immediately tackled.
While it was somewhat amusing the football world immediately assumed Prescott was not successful and the Cowboys would be flagged, leading to a safety. So when that didn't happen, everybody was surprised. The referees instead penalized Smith for illegal touching and Dallas punted.
