VIDEO: Cowboys Get Points After Cheap Shot by Patriots DL Deatrich Wise on Dak Prescott
By Karl Rasmussen
The Patriots defense was looking to get off the rain-soaked field against the Cowboys during the second quarter on Sunday when one member of the D-line made a costly error. Deatrich Wise was flagged for roughing the passer when he unwisely rammed into Dak Prescott well after the Dallas QB fired off a pass.

Wise bowled over Prescott well after the ball was released, and despite not landing on the QB, the flags were thrown. Light hit, but it still counts.
The 25-year-old has to know better than to run into the quarterback at full force like that, and his mistake gave the Cowboys a fresh set of downs and 15 yards.
Naturally, Dallas cashed in on a short Brett Maher field goal (following the Pats bucking up in the red zone).

Gotta figure he'll be fined because it was so late pic.twitter.com/NQtkURLEnx
We'll see in the coming days if there's punishment forthcoming for Wise, who didn't hit Prescott with his full force, but should've known better.
