GREEN BAY, Wis. Malcolm Brogdon Jersey . - Dez Bryant stood near the sideline with a look of disbelief, hands raised to his head.The 31-yard catch to the 1 in the waning minutes of the fourth quarter was reversed and that helped knock the Dallas Cowboys out of playoffs.DeMarco Murray ran for 123 yards on 25 carries and an efficient Tony Romo threw two touchdown passes, but the Cowboys squandered an eight-point lead in the third quarter to fall 26-21 on Sunday to the Green Bay Packers. It was the first loss on the road this season for Dallas after going 8-0 in the regular season.Bryant finished with three catches for 38 yards.The 31-yard catch overturned on video replay upset Bryant the most.Look, Ill tell you this, Ive never seen that a day in my life. I want to know why it wasnt a catch, said an emotional Bryant, his voice sounding as if it was going to crack a couple of times.On fourth-and-2 from the Packers 32 with 4:42 left and the Packers leading 26-21, Romo threw a deep pass left. Cornerback Sam Shields had solid coverage. The 6-foot-2 Bryant jumped high and came down at the 1.Coach Mike McCarthy saw otherwise and threw a challenge flag. Fans at Lambeau Field roared as giant video boards showed the replay.Some people probably think throwing the red flag is a lot of fun. Its not all its cut out to be, I can tell you that, McCarthy said. But that was such an impactful play, you have to challenge that.Replays showed that Bryant bobbled the ball as he rolled into the end zone, with part of it touching the field. After reviewing the play, officials overturned the call, saying Bryant didnt maintain control all the way to the ground.The rule states:If a player goes to the ground in the act of catching a pass (with or without contact by an opponent), he must maintain control of the ball throughout the process of contacting the ground, whether in the field of play or the end zone. If he loses control of the ball, and the ball touches the ground before he regains control, the pass is incomplete. If he regains control prior to the ball touching the ground, the pass is complete.Bryant thought otherwise.Cmon, man. Im just saying, I think it was a catch. Obviously, they didnt think it was a catch, (the referees) took it away, Bryant said. So obviously it was because of them.Hours after the game, Bryant tweeted: as I went to the ground I rolled over and I tipped the ball to gain better control. We lost and I accept it but please change that rule.The call overshadowed other glaring problems for the Cowboys down the stretch — third-down conversions by the Packers in the fourth quarter.Packers rookie Davante Adams broke free for a 26-yard gain on third-and-3 to the Dallas 34 with 2:24 left. Cornerback Sterling Moore missed a tackle after trying to pull the ball away.With 1:43 left, Randall Cobb caught a 12-yard pass that was initially tipped on third-and-11 from the 35 for another first down.When it gets cold here and this weather gets different, youve got to put your body on people and arm tackles dont work, cornerback Orlando Scandrick said. Me personally, I dont think we did a great job of tackling. Ultimately, you cant pinpoint one thing.Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was slowed by a left calf injury. But he displayed his trademark accuracy in darting a 13-yard touchdown pass to tight end Richard Rodgers with 9:10 left to put the Packers up for good.While almost every Cowboys fan will remember this game for the reversed call, coach Jason Garrett said the loss didnt come down to officiating.We had 60 minutes, Garrett said. That play was big in the game, but there were plenty of other plays in the ballgame an unfortunately we didnt do things necessary to win the ballgame in the end.Romo finished 15 of 19 for 191 yards. The Packers sacked him four times. Romo also was whipped around to the ground by safety Micah Hyde after throwing away a pass. He gave the Cowboys a brief scare when he got up limping, favouring his left leg.Romo turned out to be fine and returned to the game.But the return to his home state — Romo grew up in Burlington in southeastern Wisconsin — didnt go as well as he would have hoped.This is really, seriously one of the more disappointing times Ive had on a personal basis, owner Jerry Jones said. It was quite a challenge, it was quite game our team played, we just fell short.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Jack McKinney Jersey . Jackson Houck added a goal and two assists for the Giants (28-23-10), who halted a five-game slide, while Tyler Morrison, Mason Geertsen and Dominik Volek each scored once.

Stitched Pacers Jerseys .com) - The Minnesota Twins made it official on Wednesday, announcing the signing of outfielder Torii Hunter to a one-year contract. https://www.cheappacers.com/273k-chuck-person-jersey-pacers.html .75 million contract for the 2014 season and avoided arbitration. The team announced the agreement on Tuesday.GLENDALE, Ariz. - It was clear to Mike Ribeiro in his return to Arizona what separates the slumping Coyotes from his new team, the Nashville Predators.Goaltending has to be your best player, night in and night out, Ribeiro said. And we have a chance to have one that can help us every night.Pekka Rinne stopped 31 shots for his NHL-best 19th win, and Ribeiro had an assist as the Predators used five goal scorers to beat slumping Arizona 5-1 Thursday night in the Coyotes eighth straight home loss.James Neal had a goal and an assist, and Mike Fisher, Ryan Ellis, Calle Jarnkrok and Olli Jokinen also scored in the Predators second consecutive win.Mike Smith allowed five goals on 38 shots as Arizona extended its longest home skid since the team moved from Winnipeg in 1996.Antoine Vermettes goal early in the first period was the only blemish for Rinne, who improved to 19-5-1.Smith, meanwhile, dropped to 5-14-2 as the Coyotes nightmare season showed no sign of turning around. Arizona has been outscored 19-5 in its four-game skid. The Coyotes have dropped nine of 11 overall.Frustrated, disappointed, Arizona coach Dave Tippett said when asked about his teams mindset. I think theres a lot of guys in there that care. They want to do better and were not finding the results we want.So the frustration continues to build. But until we turn that frustration into mental resolve and get the job done, more frustration will pile up.Fans directed their frustration at Ribeiro — even if he claimed there werent enough of them to hear it.Ribeiros team-best 17th assist came when Ellis redirected Neals shot into an open net with 1:30 left in the first period to make it 3-1.Once again, not a lot of fans in the building, Ribeiro said. They didnt have a chance to boo me. Or they might have, but I didnt hear them.Ribeiro was booed every time he touched the puck early. The Coyotes bouught out the final three years of his contract last summer, with general manager Don Maloney citing behavioural issues along with Ribeiros dismal 47-point season as the reason. Dudley Bradley Jersey. Ribeiro is more than halfway to that total with 25 points for Nashville.They said it was a mistake to get me, Ribeiro said. I think the mistake was to let me go.The Coyotes had several scoring chances thwarted by Rinne in the second period. After a sloppy start to the third, Nashville coach Peter Laviolette called his timeout.His team quickly responded.Jarnkrok knocked in a rebound at 2:43, then Jokinen scored his second goal of the season when the puck went off his skate and through Smith less than 3 minutes later to make it 5-1.The Coyotes got wing David Moss back after a 22-game absence due to injury, and he started on a line with Martin Erat and Martin Hanzal. And with Shea Weber serving a holding penalty, Arizona got an early goal. Vermettes one-timer from the slot on a feed from Mikkel Boedker made it 1-0 at 4:11.It was the first power-play goal allowed by Nashville in five games. But the Arizona lead didnt last long.With Oliver Ekman-Larsson in the box for holding and Michael Stone without his broken stick, Fisher got his first of the season on a redirect at 6:57.The Predators controlled the game from there.Its not easy for them right now, Ribeiro said of the Coyotes. I wish (Tippett) the best. I hope he stays behind the bench.Its hard to have an organization if its not steady on top — completely on top from ownership to GM.NOTES: Nashvilles David Poile earned his 1,170th win as a GM, tying former Boston boss Harry Sinden for second in NHL history. ... Predators C Derek Roy (upper body) returned after a five-game absence. ... Predators C Paul Gaustad (upper body) didnt dress. ... The crowd of 10,194 was the smallest of the season for Arizona. ' ' '
