It was fun while it lasted -- well, maybe not for the --
but the era of folded note cards being used to measure
first downs is already over. May it rest in peace.On
Thursday, four days after to help determine if the
converted a crucial fourth down against the Raiders, the
head of officials barred all referees from copying

Jersey s tactic, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
NFL head of officials Al Riveron said he has told
referees not to use folded note cards on first-down
measurements,

Cowboys-Raiders game. Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) Now,
there's a report I never thought I'd be writing about. If
you mi sed what happened, you mi sed one of the strangest
NFL moments in recent memory.During the fourth quarter of
the Cowboys' win over the Raiders, the Cowboys went for a
fourth-and-inches from their own 39-yard line. To acquire
a first down, the Cowboys ran a quarterback sneak with .
He picked up the first down, but not after a little
controversy. Steratore brought the chains to measure the
ball, but that only led to what appeared to be more
confusion. He stared at the ball in relation to the
chains and in the moment, it looked like he had no idea

Jersey produced a folded index card and proceeded
to do something with it that helped him reach the
determination that the Cowboys had, in fact, picked up a
first down. The Cowboys would go on to kick a game-
winning field goal. That was SO CLOSE SB Nation NFL

Steratore's proce s. His explanation afterward didn't
really help

hear that the NFL's head of officials has banned referees
from using index cards to measure first downs, namely
because the method makes no sense whatsoever. Still, the
short-lived era of using index cards as a tool to measure
first downs

will never be forgotten. It didn't last long, but boy,
did it leave an impre sion and make a huge impact. As a
result of their win, the Cowboys can still make the
playoffs while the Raiders are almost certainly dead.
