Overshown’s Celebration Penalty Helps Colts Field Position

Dallas linebacker DeMarvion Overshown drew a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty in the fourth quarter of the Cowboys’ victory over the Indianapolis Colts on November 8, 2026. Overshown, inactive because of a hamstring injury, ran onto the field to celebrate after Dallas forced and recovered a fumble. He was wearing blue sweatpants and a stocking cap rather than a uniform, and the referee described his clothing while announcing the foul.

The penalty moved the Cowboys from their own 33-yard line back to the 18. Dallas punted on the possession, and the resulting field position helped Indianapolis set up a field goal. The Cowboys ultimately won.

Overshown’s season has been interrupted by injuries. A hamstring problem suffered in Week 1 sidelined him for several games, and hamstring and back issues kept him out of the Week 9 game. Across more than three NFL seasons, he has played in 22 of 60 possible games. He is due to become a free agent in 2027, making this season important as he seeks a long-term contract.
