Dallas Cowboys fans were upset with the officiating crew following their 22-20 loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 16. The Dolphins clinched a postseason birth with the win Sunday.
The Cowboys clinched a playoff spot last week despite their blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills. They’ll likely be back one game to the Philadelphia Eagles with two regular season games to go after the Eagles game on Christmas Day against the New York Giants.
There were several controversial calls for the Cowboys in the loss. Star pass rusher Micah Parsons was held for most of the game and didn’t draw a flag. But he was penalized for a questionable roughing the passer call.
A replay posted by Burgers and Blitzes showed another questionable no-holding call where a Dolphins offensive lineman tackled a Cowboys defender.

The penalty stats were similar for both teams. The Cowboys were penalized six times for 38 yards, while the Dolphins were flagged five times for 33 yards.

No holding calls— Molly Rollinz (@Mollysfavs) December 25, 2023
The refs just give a free touchdown to Miami with a TERRIBLE roughing the passer against the same guy who could get his jersey ripped and they don’t call holding. Just admit you already rigged it smh #Cowboys

So the dolphins linemen can tackle our defensive players and get no penalty calls but if it’s the cowboys the refs would have throw the flag immediately. Can’t tell me most of these games aren’t rigged @NFL

The NFL is so rigged against the cowboys because they have nothing to gain from us winning. We’re already the biggest team there will ever be https://t.co/xCMSX0pHs8

It’s rigged look at the line. 1.5 points. We lost by 2
Holding all game on the Dolphins but a terrible call on them because the Dolphins did NOT ruff the passer in the end zone. Bad call.oney
It’s rigged. I’ll never watch football again.
You cowboy fans need some cheese with all that whining .face the truth Dac is not very good in the bright lights. You will lose in the first round again lol
It’s DAK- get it right Ric
Ok if we’re talking about roughing the passer penalty. The first one where Wilkins got called for one on the dolphins. He let up his body an still got called for it an dak grabbed the back of his helmet an pulled him to the ground. What about that call? Or do you just like to whine about ur own team look at the whole game it was called both ways. Cowboys suck. Refs do cheat in my opinion but cowboys still would have lost to the dolphins either way. Dolphins are just the better team.
Yup your right they lost fair and square but those are cowboy fans for you winning all the time let’s see what they say when they lose in the playoffs like every year 😂🤣😂🤣
Every year the same thing choke choke choke and this year won’t be any different
It’s about time Dallas Gets what they have given for years they have always had ref’s in their pocket all my life I’ve seen piñatas not called on Dallas so they could win a game so so quit your crying Dallas fans it has finally got you
I bet you do a lot of whiney when your team loses. But Cowboys fans do a lot of talking and haven’t done anything in 28 years. Jerry’s fault for the Cowpatty fans.
suck it rick!!
It’s DAK- get it right Ric
Didn’t loose in first round sent the best QB to ever play the game home last year
Where the hell you guys been? Refs been rigging all year. How do you think Titans beat Miami, some penalties not called. Miami in Philly, not one penalty on Philly called and there were plenty they could have. It’s selective enforcement on PI, Roughing, holding, you name it. Neither roughing passer on both teams should’ve been called. Ain’t nothing gonna change. But I’ll bet Cowboys got away with stuff at times through the year all teams have. Bills Josh Allen can’t be taken down and bowls over guys but bump him after a throw and he goes flying on his back and draws a flag. Blatant acting, whatever happened to the penalty for QBs doing that. All teams get screwed and get breaks. Yes it is rigged. As a Miami fan, This one went out way so we will take it. But Refs need to be disciplined. Will never happen though.
As always they are cowboy hatters making big to keep us out of bowl. Refs suc
Cowboy fans get over it yall lost ok stop crying about it we was the better team so get over it cowboys is over rated
Maybe you should go back to the first grade moron
Parsons has not drawn a holding call in 36 QTRs. It’s so obvious!
All these crying Cowboy fans is wild, as if the regs didn’t miss penalties against the Dolphins. Yall are hilarious just take the L and move along
Another Donald Drumpf conspiracy initiated.
