Even in death, Dallas Cowboys fan Robert Clyde Drew is holding firm on his belief that Dez Bryant's controversial non-catch in the divisional round of the 2014 playoffs should have counted.

"A loyal Cowboys fan, he died peacefully with his daughter by his side, knowing full well that Dez, did, in fact, catch the ball," Drew's obituary reads on the website of Wichita Falls, Texas funeral home Dignity Memorial.

Drew passed away Jan. 25, which his family believes may have something to do with Super Bowl LII:

"Robert Clyde Drew, beloved husband, father, and Papa, drew his last breath January 25, 2018, mainly, we suspect, to prevent himself from having to watch the Patriots and Eagles in the Super Bowl."
