Facing fourth-and-two from the Green Bay 32-yard line, Romo gave Bryant a chance against single coverage. Bryant climbed over Sam Shields, secured the ball, took multiple steps and stretched toward the goal line before the ball moved as he contacted the ground. The play was initially ruled a catch at the Packers' one-yard line. Mike McCarthy challenged the ruling, and referee Gene Steratore overturned it.

Bryant's overturned catch in 2015 playoff loss sparked rule change in 2018.

On fourth-and-two from the Green Bay 32-yard line in the 2015 NFC Divisional Playoff, Dez Bryant climbed over Sam Shields on single coverage, secured the ball, took multiple steps and stretched toward the goal line before the ball moved as he contacted the ground. The play was initially ruled a catch at the Packers' one-yard line but was overturned upon review under the catch rule in place at the time, which required maintaining control throughout the process of going to the ground. This controversial reversal ended Dallas' season with 4:06 remaining.
