Wow. Sorry guys. That TD was poor sportsmanship IMO. Completely uncalled for.

I disagree. One could argue that the Cowboys defense giving up and stop playing is unprofessional. There is no mercy rule. Should they have just called the game when it got to 27-3?

Peter,
The game was over. No need to keep rubbing their face in dirt. I don't like Bill and the Patriots for that.

I understand and don't disagree entirely. But why play the rest of the game then? And why did the defense stop playing? I just think there is another perspective on this. Should teams be allowed to throw in the towel and concede?

Guess I gotta root for the Chargers now.

So what should they have done on 4th down? Take a knee?

A for sure 3 points pulling it to 30-3 or toss it up, take a chance, and get 34-3.

Either way, Dallas got their ass kicked.

Minnesota gave Dallas plenty of opportunity to make something happen in that territory late in the 4th. Dallas couldn't pull past their 30 and consecutively lost it on 4th down.

These guys get paid millions of dollars to play professional football. If they have hurt feelings over a game, I do not feel sorry for them one bit.

That would have been the classier choice. It was already a 4-possession game at that point.

Good point. All Dallas had to do was score 4 times. Oh, and recover 3 onsides kicks. Minnesota needed some insurance points...
