The first play after the two-minute warning within the fourth quarter on Monday evening despatched the Cowboys on a curler coaster of feelings.
Linebacker Nick Vigil blocked a kick by Bengals punter Ryan Rehkow and the Cowboys had been set to take over possession of the ball in Bengals territory with an opportunity to win the sport. That alternative evaporated when cornerback Amani Oruwariye tried to subject the ball and had it bounce off of him and into the fingers of Bengals linebacker Maema Njongmeta.
The Bengals scored the game-winning landing a number of performs later and the Cowboys had been left to lament a painful loss that elicited recollections of Leon Lett on Thanksgiving in 1993. That play turned a defining second in Lett’s profession, however cornerback Jourdan Lewis stated the Cowboys wouldn’t let that occur to Oruwariye.
“Big performs occur and everyone sees it,” Lewis stated, by way of the staff’s web site. “We have to stick with him and preserve encouraging him. We don’t need that second to outline him. We have to remain behind him. That’s simply soccer. Some issues roll your approach and a few issues don’t. I can’t blame him making an attempt to make a play.”
The Cowboys of 1993 had been in a position to shrug off Lett’s miscue and win their second straight Super Bowl. These Cowboys nearly definitely received’t have an opportunity at postseason redemption, however that’s due to much more than only one play late in Week 14.
