The Cowboys had 14 accepted penalties for 153 yards in the 27-23 win over the Colts. One of them was called unacceptable and undisciplined by Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones.

Linebacker DeMarvion Overshown, who was inactive and dressed in street clothes, came onto the field to celebrate after Quinnen Williams forced a Jonathan Taylor fumble that Shemar James returned to the Dallas 30. Overshown was penalized 15 yards, with referee Clay Martin saying, “After the play, unsportsmanlike conduct by Dallas. We have non-uniformed player in blue sweats and a stocking cap come onto the field to celebrate. That’s a 15-yard penalty.”

Overshown apologized to head coach Brian Schottenheimer and his teammates.

“At the end of the day, I talked to Schotty about it,” Overshown said Thursday, via Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News. “I apologized about it. It was definitely in the moment, but earlier I had said that as a defense, we’re going to start celebrating more, getting takeaways. And I was just caught in the moment. So you can laugh at it now, because we won the game, but in the moment, fourth quarter, tied ball game or close ball game, you don’t want a 15-yard penalty from a guy, especially that’s not even playing. So that’s a lesson learned.”

Overshown said he didn’t know the rule until linebacker Dee Winters started yelling at him, which should prompt questions about why Overshown didn’t know the rule. But he defended Schottenheimer and said he accepted his “butt chewing.”

“It’s not an indictment on Schotty. It’s on me as a player. I own it,” he said.
