This one must have looked better in the playbook because it certainly didn’t translate to the field.
The Dallas Cowboys were trailing the Washington Football Team in the fourth quarter on Thanksgiving when McCarthy decided to try some special-teams trickeration.
It failed. Horribly.
Watch as the WFT comes up huge and doesn’t give the play a chance.
Washington snuffed out the fake ‼️ @WashingtonNFL

The flip went to Cedrick Wilson, who didn’t make it back to the line of scrimmage.
4th & 10 at DAL 24
(12:54 – 4th) (Punt formation) C.Wilson right end to DAL 23 for -1 yards (C.Luke; K.Hudson)
That’s straight from the NFC East playbook of 2020.
Washington capitalized as Antonio Gibson scored his second rushing TD from 23 yards to make it 27-16 after the PAT.
A Thanksgiving Day FEAST for @AntonioGibson14! @WashingtonNFL
His 2nd TD of the day!
