Overview
- Officials erased Ferguson’s apparent third-quarter touchdown against the Chiefs on replay, ruling his right foot out of bounds.
- No on-field penalty was assessed for the kettle dive, and the NFL had not announced any discipline as of Friday.
- The kettles are part of a long-running Cowboys–Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign that the team features during the holiday games.
- League responses to similar celebrations have varied for years, including fines for Ezekiel Elliott in 2018 and 2022 and no discipline in other cases.
- A 2024 example saw Bengals running back Chase Brown reportedly fined $5,481, underscoring the inconsistency that framed this latest incident in Dallas’ 31–28 Thanksgiving win.
