Dallas Cowboys fans expressed outrage after inactive linebacker DeMarvion Overshown was assessed a 15-yard penalty during the team's recent game, with many labeling the incident an "embarrassment" for the franchise.

The penalty occurred despite Overshown being listed as inactive for the contest, raising questions about how a player not dressed for the game could be penalized. Details surrounding the specific circumstances remain limited, but the situation has sparked significant backlash on social media among the Cowboys faithful.

Overshown, a second-year linebacker, has been a rotational piece for Dallas' defense. The unusual penalty adds to a growing list of controversies for the organization this season.
