Overview
- Vice president of instant replay Mark Butterworth said the flag should have been picked up if clear video of the tip had been available in time.
- FOX’s enhanced angle that showed Flournoy touching the ball did not reach officials until a play or two after enforcement, which exceeded the window to intervene.
- Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer chose not to challenge after staff judged their available replays inconclusive despite Flournoy saying he hit the ball.
- The sustained penalty kept Philadelphia’s drive alive and it ended with a Jalen Hurts touchdown that made the score 14-0.
- Dallas eventually prevailed 24-21 on Brandon Aubrey’s game-ending field goal, leaving the error as a spotlight on replay’s reliance on broadcast timing.
