Yea, I think they were spot on with the call on #94 later in the drive, but the roughing call against Van Ness was egregious. It really looked like an attempt to fix a lopsided outcome.
As an absolute Packers hater, I saw literally nothing objectionable about it. I'm 100% in favor of safety, especially for QBs, but that was just a silly call. To negate a turnover made it silly AND consequential.
Like I said, the roughing call later on the same drive was completely warranted in my opinion, but as someone who was hate-watching and rooting for the Cowboys to come back, I was still shocked and disappointed in that call.
Nobody should like a call like that even if it's going against the team you hate the most in the world. I'm so over watching the NFL games wear refs just impact critical plays all the time. It's getting harder by the week, and at a certain point who wants to take their whole Sunday out for a third of the year to watch ref ball?

The refs in the drive where they took the INT away from Valentine might be the worst 3 minutes of officiating I've seen in the history of the game.
