The Cowboys' 2021 season ended in ugly fashion on Sunday evening as a Dak Prescott quarterback draw marked the team's final play before the clock ran out in a 23–17 loss.
Prescott ran a designed run from the 49ers' 41-yard line with 14 seconds remaining, a play called despite Dallas having no timeouts remaining. Prescott slid at San Francisco's 24-yard line, but after a brief collision with an official, he was not able to spike the ball and run one final play. The blunder marked Dallas's latest bitter playoff defeat, one that will likely linger in north Texas for years to come.
