I think it is also fair to say the officiating was quite tilted in Dallas's favor. The series where Favre was laid out after the whistle was blown dead for an offsides call was atrocious. There were 4-5 bad calls against Minnesota on that drive alone.

As for the score, if I recall, Minnesota needed a first down to keep the ball and were up by three scores. I can see why Dallas was annoyed, but it wasn't nearly as egregious as Brady throwing in the fourth quarter against the Skins when up by 40+ points in a regular season non-conference game.

I know why Brookings was hot under the collar, he was in the heat of the game...what I don't understand is why Phillips opened his fat mouth afterward. That just reeks of sour grapes and he should know better. Gibbs only response to the Pats running up the score was that "we should have stopped them."
