Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant has claimed that he was robbed by the officials after seeing a catch ruled out in his side's playoff defeat to the Green Bay Packers.

Bryant made an impressive grab down the sideline on a fourth-down play to take his side to the goal line and seemingly give them a chance to take the lead late in the game.

However, following a challenge by Packers head coach Mike McCarthy, the play was overturned as the 26-year-old failed to keep control of the ball for the whole process of the catch.

Bryant told reporters: "C'mon man. I think it was a catch. They took it away. I wasn't off balance. I was trying to stretch for it and get in the end zone."

Bryant recorded three receptions for 38 yards in the match at Lambeau Field.
