Butler took issue with a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty that was called on him during the game.

Officials always miss calls, but the reason the Cowboys lost was Aaron Rodgers—especially the throw he made to Jared Cook to set up the Packers' last second field goal.
The Packers are moving on to the NFC Championship Game on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons.
