And like they desperately needed to on the final sequence in a 23-17 wild-card loss to San Francisco on Sunday. After getting the most penalties in the NFL during the regular season, Dallas tied a season high with 14 in the playoff game. That was the only turnover forced by the Cowboys, who led the NFL with 34 takeaways in the regular season. The Cowboys had won their previous three wild-card playoff games, all at AT&T Stadium since it opened for the 2009 season.

The Titans then capped a long drive with a 5-yard TD run by Ryan Tannehill with less than two minutes remaining. Henry had put the Titans on top 10-3 when he dashed 52 yards early in the second quarter.
