The Cowboys are once again out of the playoffs without making a deep run.

Dak Prescott & Co. missed several opportunities during the team's divisional round contest with the 49ers, losing for the second straight year to their longtime playoff rivals — and Arik Armstead was quick to point out how flat Dallas' revenge bid fell.

Just like the 49ers' upset win in Dallas last season, this game featured a stunning final play from the Cowboys' offense — one that quickly had social media buzzing.

‘What was that?’

Yes, that was running back Ezekiel Elliott snapping the ball to Prescott — and then immediately getting flattened while Prescott's short pass went nowhere.
