Was Tony Romo Lost During Last Play of Cowboys-Broncos Game?

Was Tony Romo confused during the final play of Sunday's Cowboys game against the Denver Broncos?

Video shot by FOX 4 photographer Larry Rodriguez seems to show a confused Cowboys quarterback during a crucial moment.

During the final seconds of the game, Romo motions his linemen to get ready for the next play, then holds up three fingers, as if he thought the team had just completed the third down play.

But when he learns that the previous play was actually the fourth -- and last -- chance for the Cowboys, Romo reacts with a curse.

Romo tried twice to throw to receiver Sam Hurd to tie the score, but both attempts were incomplete. The Cowboys lost to the Broncos 17-10.

Romo has not yet spoken with reporters about whether there was any confusion on the field.

However, the Cowboys released this statement stating there was:

"As Tony was walking off the field after the fourth down play, he saw that the down marker on the Dallas sideline read 3. As it turned out, the marker was in the process of being changed, sequentially, from the number 4 to the number 1 for the Broncos ensuing possession. The marker on the Cowboys side read 3 temporarily. When he saw the 3, he thought there might have been the possibility of an error on the down count. After asking the officials (holding up three fingers), he then saw the down marker move through the progression from 3 to 2 to 1."
