Flags were flying during the clash between the Cowboys and Seahawks, as officials were calling a strict game. There were 19 penalties in the clash between Seattle and Dallas, much to the displeasure of football fans everywhere.
It wasn’t just the fans who couldn’t stand seeing so many flags either.
Al Michaels was on call as usual for the Thursday Night matchup and provided an epic one-liner in the third quarter that summed up the entire night.
“We’re gonna take the rest of the night off and let Clete Blakeman call the game,” he remarked.
A graphic during the Prime Video broadcast indicated the combined 252 penalty yards were the most in any NFL game this season.
Both teams surrendered more than 100 penalty yards as there were a total of 19 accepted penalties, including 10 against Seattle and nine against Dallas. The Seahawks’ penalties cost them 130 yards, while the Cowboys set themselves back 127 yards.

It put a damper on what was really an entertaining game. With so many penalties, the score likely wouldn’t have been as high as it was. Also, the Cowboys and Seahawks combined to punt zero times in the 41-35 Dallas win. It marked the fifth regular-season game in NFL history with no punts.
The most recent zero-punt game was Philadelphia-Kansas City in 2021.
