Pic: US newspaper headline invokes JFK assassination for Dallas Cowboys’ controversial win

Dallas advance in NFL play-offs after a call that has led to 'conspiracy theories'

Gareth Makim

Earlier we brought you news of yesterday’s refereeing controversy which has NFL conspiracy theorists all a-flutter.

Long story short, the Dallas Cowboys were trailing the Detroit Lions when officials reversed what looked like a perfectly good decision, giving the Cowboys the ball and, ultimately, a victory over the Lions.

Dallas is already home to its fair share of conspiracy theories, and a newspaper in Philadelphia, home to the Cowboys’ arch-rival Eagles, jumped all over that fact by invoking the assassination of JFK on this morning’s front page.
