Dez Bryant, the Dallas Cowboys and the referees are once again the talk of the town all because of one play.
These two teams meet tonight at Soldier Field in what should be a high-scoring game. There are plenty of fantasy points on the board here.
I guess the phrase "when is Rome" should be changed to "when in London."
