Stephen A Smith’s reaction to Cowboys loss is pure gold

There was no one happier than ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith after the Dallas Cowboys were eliminated in the Wild Card Round.

Sunday, Jan. 16, was an absolutely terrible day if you were a Dallas Cowboys fan. Coincidentally, it was a fantastic day if you do not like the Cowboys. With lofty expectations thrown their way, Dallas fell massively short of accomplishing their championship goals, as they lost 23-17 to the San Francisco 49ers in the Wild Card Round.

Perhaps there was no one happier that the Cowboys were eliminated from the playoffs than ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith. That was evident, as he posted his traditional video of laughing at Dallas for losing a game.

Stephen A. Smith laughs after Cowboys lose to 49ers in playoffs

There have been plenty of heartbreaking playoff moments for Dallas in recent years, but this one might be the worst of them all.

Dallas overcame a 23-7 deficit to have a shot at winning the game in the closing seconds. Down 23-17, they gained possession after the 49ers’ costly false start on a quarterback scramble forced them to punt it away. From there, the Cowboys ran out of bounds to inch closer and closer to the end zone. That was when disaster struck.

On second-and-1, quarterback Dak Prescott ran up the gut for a first down, setting them up inside the 25-yard line. The problem was the clock was ticking with less than 10 seconds remaining, and Dallas had to wait for the official to touch the football to spike it.

Once that happened, it was too late, as Prescott clocked the football down just when the game clock expired. That helped the 49ers pull off the upset win and a trip to Green Bay to face the Packers in the Divisional Round.

Now, the Cowboys and their fanbase will be questioning what could have been. As for Smith, he will certainly be celebrating that Dallas fell short of winning the Super Bowl yet again.
