For the first time since the Dez Bryant catch/no-catch in the divisional round of the 2014 playoffs against the Green Bay Packers, the Dallas Cowboys will get to say hello to referee Gene Steratore.

To this day, the Cowboys believe Bryant made the fourth-down catch of a Tony Romo pass down the sideline over Sam Shields. As he was going to the ground, Bryant said he was reaching out for the goal line and the ball popped into the air as he hit the ground, but the play initially was ruled a catch.

Steratore went to replay and with some help from New York, the catch was overturned and the Cowboys’ season effectively ended. Who knows what would have happened had the Cowboys scored? Maybe Aaron Rodgers would have delivered in the final minutes and the Packers would have won anyway. But the Cowboys -- and their fans -- believe they were robbed.

And it seems that since this game, nobody knows what is or is not a catch in the NFL.

Since 2010, the Cowboys are 1-4 in games Steratore calls, although the playoff game was with an all-star crew. In those games, the Cowboys have been penalized 26 times for 201 yards and their opponents have been flagged 30 times for 235 yards.

Last week, Steratore worked the heated game between the Seattle Seahawks and Jacksonville Jaguars that got ugly in the final seconds. The crew called 24 penalties with 13 accepted. The Jaguars had seven penalties for 48 yards, while the Seahawks had six for 73 yards.

This is the second straight game in which the Cowboys will have a ref coming off a game that got out of hand the previous week. Walt Anderson worked the Pittsburgh Steelers-Cincinnati Bengals affair before calling the Cowboys’ win against the New York Giants.
