THE STORY
In the 2014 NFC Divisional Playoff on January 11, 2015, at Lambeau Field, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant's apparent fourth-down catch near the goal line was overturned upon review. Officials determined he did not complete the catch process, leading to an incomplete pass ruling. This decision resulted in a turnover on downs, and the Green Bay Packers won 26–21, advancing to the NFC Championship.
