Twitter reacts to Cowboys’ disrespectful, unneccessary, but fun fake XP
The Dallas Cowboys probably could’ve saved the trickery for a bigger situation, but sometimes it feels good just to feel good. Midway through the second quarter, the Cowboys found themselves up 16-3 after a defensive strip sack, scoop and score. The Patriots gave them a golden opportunity to run a trick play.
For whatever reason, perhaps they saw something in film study, the Patriots sent the house to try and block the extra point. Only Dallas holder, punter Bryan Anger was ready for it. Anger never placed the ball on the turf after the snap, stood up and found defensive lineman Chauncey Golston wide open on his way to the end zone. Social media of course loved it all, including the fact this happened against a Bill Belichick team.
did the Cowboys really just fire drill the extra point?

According to @ESPNStatsInfo, the Cowboys are the first team to run a successful fake for a 2-point conversion since extra points were pushed back to the 15 in 2015.

That Cowboys fake extra point was cool, but if I had that play ready I'd save it for a time I need 7 instead of 3, not use it to get 2 instead of 1 in a game I'm already winning by 13.

Oh my. The Cowboys just pulled off a fake extra point for a two-point conversion.
Against the coach who loves the finer points of special teams, the Cowboys just executed an incredible fake.
