Yes, the play that is burned in the minds of every Cowboys fan. Dez Bryant's catch, which was ruled incomplete, helped hand the Cowboys a defeat in the divisional round, and it would be the last postseason appearance for quarterback Tony Romo.

Recently, the 11th anniversary of that game was reminded by everyone as social media posts littered with the Bryant moment went viral.
