Dez Bryant wants an explanation from the referees.

The Cowboys wide receiver hauled in a pass against the Packers that would have put Dallas in position for a go-ahead touchdown late in the fourth quarter.

Originally ruled a catch, the refs overturned the play after review, saying Bryant didn't complete the process of the catch coming to the ground. It helped the Packers hold on for a 26-21 win.

Bryant, emotional after the game, disagreed, and said the refs robbed the Cowboys.

"It was a catch ...They took it away, so obviously it's because of them," he said. "I had possession of the ball coming down."

Here is the full interview:

When he was asked if the better team won on Sunday, Bryant simply said: "No."

This reversal came a week after a picked up flag helped the Cowboys beat the Lions, who didn't forget that for a second.

FOX NFL rules expert said the refs got the call right this Sunday in overturning the catch:
