Shocking if he doesn't kick it here. If he doesn't, and they get stuffed, the football Gods will take a big chunk out of LA's ass and Dallas will win this game.

And that's where the Dallas running play should have gone on their fourth down that they got stuffed. Not up the middle.

Going for it is pretty unconventional but the chance of not getting is it pretty low and if you do get stuffed, Dallas is still starting at their own 1.

Making a chili for tomorrow that's in the oven. If I put it outside at the end of this game, will it be frozen solid at 6AM?

I think what happened there was it took McVay 25 seconds to go for it and then it was too late to get the play in and so he told them to try to draw an offside to save the time out. It’s only a half yard but it saves you the time out because they reset the clock.

If you think about it it’s really smart and quick thinking. If you are going to kick you just take the delay, but if you are going to go and need the time why not try to draw the penalty. The risk is a false start. But most coaches just call the TO not try on the fly to get the free one. That’s good situational awareness.

Dallas obviously has to convert this for any last pulse effort to stay alive.

The Cowboys went until the Tampa game without a single offensive holding call against an opponent. Unless my memory fails me, they haven't since either.
That's pretty amazing considering the talent of the front 7 of Dallas (this game not withstanding)
