The Dallas Cowboys came out a bit slowly in their wild-card playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, and there were questions about whether they were adequately prepared. Their equipment staff apparently was not.

Cowboys linebacker Leighton Vander Esch had the name on the back of his jersey misspelled. The “S” and “C” on his name plate were in the wrong spot. Check it out:
