NFL vice president of officiating Mike Pereira said Wednesday that there was a mistake in the Eagles-Cowboys game on Sunday night. Philadelphia quarterback Donovan McNabb was ruled short after a dive on fourth-and-1 with 11:01 to play in the fourth quarter. Eagles coach Andy Reid challenged the play, but the spot wasn't moved and the Cowboys took over on downs. Pereira said of the spot by referee Walt Coleman: "I think I would have moved it." He added that he isn't sure if moving the ball would have given the Eagles the first down they needed. "I haven't talked to [Pereira]. From what he said, he might have changed it some but it still wasn't close," Cowboys coach Wade Phillips said Thursday. "I have to talk to Mike. We would have stopped them anyway even if they would have made it. "It wasn't a touchdown, it was a first down but they didn't make it. I'm telling you, I was watching it and the [official] spotted it exactly where [McNabb was down]. He took the ball from his hands and put it right there. Now I don't know how you can spot it any better than that. [McNabb] never reached out."
