Jimmy Johnson led the Dallas Cowboys to two Super Bowl championships in the early 1990s and coached a team that featured legends Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, Michael Irvin and Charles Haley.

But the current Cowboys are far and wide apart from their dynastic teams of that era and Johnson was among those bewildered by the final play of their 19-12 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.

Johnson summed up the play in a one-word tweet.

"Dumb," he wrote.

Dak Prescott and the Cowboys needed a miracle from their own 24-yard line to even have a shot at tying the score. Running back Ezekiel Elliott was the center for Dallas, and no other offensive linemen surrounded him. Instead, the linemen were set out wide on the left and right side of the line of scrimmage, and it was clear the Cowboys were going to try something crazy in their last-ditch effort.

COWBOYS' MIKE MCCARTHY EXPLAINS BIZARRE GAME-ENDING PLAY: 'THAT OBVIOUSLY WASN’T THE PLAN'

As Elliott snapped the ball — he got run over quickly by a 49ers pass rusher — Prescott had a quick drop before throwing to rookie KaVontae Turpin, who was immediately hit to end the game. Turpin's lineman could not get to Jimmie Ward for the block fast enough, and it was an easy one for the veteran cornerback to seal the deal.

The play was heavily criticized online. McCarthy explained that the result was not what they had in mind.

"Yeah, it didn’t get going," McCarthy said, via NBC Sports Bay Area. "I really don’t want to get into the detail of it, but that obviously wasn’t the plan. It’s obviously a gadget play or whatever. It’s a last-play-situation call that we practice."
