The Dallas Cowboys are locked in a tight battle with the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football, and with the game hanging in the balance, every play matters.
Unfortunately for the Cowboys, the entire country now knows at least a good portion of their plays.
Late in the third quarter, with the game tied a 10-10, Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy's play sheet was in full view of the Monday Night Football audience.
On the sheet, you can see a few play calls for offensive situations in which the Cowboys are in the 'logo zone' (the +35 to -45 yard lines), the 'gold zone' (21-35 yard line), the 'high red' zone (16-20 yard line) and 'mid red' zone (11-15 yard line)
How much of this actually affected or will affect the outcome of the game?
Likely none. Even if the photo of the play sheet made its way back to the Chargers - which in and of itself is unlikely - the odds that the Chargers would be able to decipher the play sheet are rather low.
Nevertheless, perhaps McCarthy should consider covering up his play sheet in some form or fashion, before one team decides to get wise and jot down a few plays calls for the Cowboys already abysmal red zone offense.
