Washington Commanders Beat Dallas Cowboys to Super Bowl, Per ESPN Adam Schefter Report Goof

In this story:

FRISCO - The race to the Super Bowl has not only not been won by the Dallas Cowboys … but somehow the 4-13 Washington Commanders just did the leapfrog up and over the 12-5 “America’s Team” into the Super Bowl.

This year’s Super Bowl!

How? A released “script”? “The fix is in”? Nope. Just a goof by ESPN insider Adam Schefter, who in pressing “send” made the same sort of error that the rest of us have made …

Except Schefter did it in a way that sent his “report” to millions of NFL fans.

Schefter’s oops tweet has the Commanders replacing the San Francisco 49ers in Sunday's big game at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium against the AFC Champion Kansas City Chiefs.

The Commanders are in the news, of course, because they just hired new leadership, with the new general manager hire Adam Peters overseeing the hiring of Dallas defensive coordinator Dan Quinn as the Washington head coach.

So no, Washington didn’t just accomplish in 29 minutes what Dallas has failed to accomplish in 29 years.

Now, next year, if Quinn’s Commanders make it to the Super Bowl ahead of the Cowboys? 

That will be a real embarrassment and another level of “goof” on the part of Jerry Jones’ franchise.
