It feels like a lifetime ago now, but the\u00a0Baltimore Ravens’\u00a028-25\u00a0win over the Dallas Cowboys\u00a0in Week 3 is back\u00a0in the news again. Not for the result itself, but for a questionable officiating call during the game.<\/p>\n

Backed up early in the second quarter, Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott dropped back to pass and tried to give his team some life. Just as Ravens defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike was about to bring him down for a safety, Prescott dumped the ball off to guard Tyler Smith, who was not an eligible receiver on the play. Rather than calling Prescott for intentional grounding, which would’ve given the Ravens a safety, the officials instead called Smith for illegal touching.<\/p>\n
