Controversial calls in the NFL have been quite the norm in 2019.

That was the case on 3rd-and-one late in the 4th quarter when Cowboys offensive lineman Travis Frederick was called for a tripping penalty by refs that cost them 10 yards and ultimately a turnover on downs on the next play.

The Cowboys would go on to lose this crucial game, mainly because of that terrible call.

That’s an incomplete pass. And thus a phantom tripping call winds up deciding the most anticipated game of the year. That is an absolute joke. #Cowboys #Patriots

That tripping call on Travis Frederick is all-time bad. Just a robbery. Dak was on a roll. Maybe another one of Belichick's sons somehow masqueraded as a ref. JUST MAKES ME SICK.
