There was a heavy amount of frustration from Cowboys fans Sunday after their team fell 23-17 to the San Francisco 49ers, as evidenced by a few of them throwing things on the field following the loss.
Video from Jane Slater of the NFL Network showed fans throwing objects from the stands as the officials and Cowboys players left the field. Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence can be seen deflecting one of the objects with his helmet.
Slater tweeted that the fan who sent her the video insisted that
those who were throwing objects were focusing their ire at the players, but the video also makes it seem like officials were targeted as well. The Cowboys were attempting to come from behind to win the game on the final possession, but time expired on the game's last play when officials didn't have time to set the ball after Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott ran for a 17-yard gain.
Lawrence told reporters after the game that he felt the fans throwing objects were targeting officials.
"That s*** was aimed at the refs. … It had nothing to do with me," Lawrence said,

The loss was a tough one to swallow for the Cowboys organization, in addition to their fans. Much more was expected from the Cowboys in the postseason after winning the NFC East and finishing the regular season 12-5.
"When you get this combination of players together, you need to have success because we all know how it goes in the NFL," Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told reporters after the game. "The whole thing is set up to take away from the best and add to the ones that need improvement. And personnel-wise I think we had one of the best."

Brock Purdy hopes to organize throwing session ahead of 49ers training camp
The San Francisco 49ers will hold a mandatory minicamp from June 4 through 6, officially concluding the team's offseason program. After that, the Niners will break for over a month and return to the Santa Clara facilities for training camp in late July.
Between that time, starting quarterbacks will often organize throwing sessions with their receivers in an effort to build chemistry ahead of the rigors of training camp. 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has been unable to participate in such sessions over the last two years. The last overall draft pick in 2022, Purdy had yet to make a name for himself during his first offseason. Last year, he was still recovering from offseason surgery on his throwing arm.
