What happened: A resurfaced highlight of former Cowboys receiver Terrance Williams failing to get out of bounds against the New York Giants has sparked renewed discussion. The 2016 play saw Williams catch a pass but stay in bounds as time expired, sealing a 20-19 loss for Dallas.

Why it matters: The clip’s resurgence coincides with the upcoming 10th anniversary of the play and unrelated legal news involving a namesake in Ohio. Historically, the blunder marked a frustrating start to the 2016 season, which eventually saw Dallas finish 13-3 and claim the NFC's top seed.

What to watch: The Dallas Cowboys are in the 2026 offseason. Williams recently signed with the Dinos de Saltillo in Mexico.
