DeMarvion Overshown had a bad moment and didn’t even play
That was DeMarvion Overshown and as he was not a part of the team for the game (he was inactive) he was assessed with an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
Key points
- Consider that the Cowboys did wind up getting those 15 yards back right away, but they punted on the ensuing possession and the Colts went on to tie the game up before eventually taking the lead that Dallas took back once and for all.
- Overshown has been around for a while and is regarded to be among the team’s leaders.
- They just took the football away at a critical moment.
The point is that Overshown directly impacted his team’s ability to win and he did so while not even a part of the game.
Somehow, some way, Overshown ran out that far into the field and backed the team up 15 yards as a result.
Additional details
- That, obviously, has felt a bit hollow as losses have piled up this season, but on Sunday, during a win, it was on full display in the worst possible way.
- His inability to stay healthy is an issue, but he has always been seen as someone who at the very least is great from a leadership standpoint.
- Over the summer and through training camp, many people noted the culture that the head coach was building for and through the Dallas Cowboys.
- This was the case because the celebration was not happening on the sideline where Cowboys players and staffers happened to be.
- You can see someone, as the official described to be in sweats while assessing the penalty, run into the celebration.
