The Dallas Cowboys came up short on the final drive of Sunday’s 12-10 loss to the New Orleans Saints. But they did provide NFL fans with one of the season’s great memes.
In that final drive, Dallas took over possession with just under two minutes to go and no timeouts, which ultimately had Dak Prescott taking deep shots to get into field-goal range.
On 2nd and 20 from their own 26-yard line, Prescott targeted Amari Cooper on a deep ball that fell incomplete. The pass was thrown right into quadruple coverage, and Cooper still nearly came down with the ball.
The ambitious effort looked even more absurd in the screenshots. It was perfect meme material, and NFL fans did not disappoint.
Excellent work, NFL Twitter. Really, take a bow.
