The Story in 60 Seconds

Mike Poland of Blogging The Boys argues that an overturned defensive touchdown sequence served as the primary turning point in the Dallas Cowboys' 23-13 loss to the Green Bay Packers. After Dee Winters intercepted Jordan Love, a replay review ruled Winters down by contact, negating an apparent return touchdown.
