With six seconds left on the clock and down a touchdown, the Dallas Cowboys found themselves in a situation that called for some trickery on their own 24-yard line to have any shot at the end zone.

But no one expected what the Cowboys did the second they lined up for the final play in the 19-12 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, who advance to the NFC Championship.

Running back Ezekiel Elliott was the center for Dallas, and no other offensive linemen surrounded him. Instead, the linemen were set out wide on the left and right side of the line of scrimmage, and it was clear the Cowboys were going to try something crazy in their last-ditch effort.

Instead, the play ended real quick.
