The Dallas Cowboys misspelled the last name of linebacker  Leighton Vander Esch on his jersey for Sunday’s wild-card playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers. 

The back of the 27-year-old’s jersey read Vander ‘Ecsh’. The ‘S and ‘C’ on his name plate were in the wrong spot. Check it out:

This is one of the several instances when the name of players and sometimes even teams have been misspelled by football outfits.

Last year, when the Indiana Hoosiers took the field to play Iowa, freshman running back David Holloman jersey read ‘Indinia’. 

The fourth-year player is in the final year of his rookie contract after the Cowboys didn’t exercise the fifth-year option in their first-round pick from 2018. Vander Esch was the 19th overall choice.

While his future with the Cowboys remains a question, Vander Esch has had a solid season playing in the shadow of linebacker Micah Parsons, who shattered the club rookie record with 13 sacks. Parsons is a favorite to win NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year.

Vander Esch finished the regular season with 77 total tackles and one interception.  

The Cowboys and 49ers are renewing a playoff rivalry that’s been dormant for 27 years since they played in three consecutive NFC championship games.

“If the cowboys win that jersey is staying just like that,” a Twitter user wrote. 

“Thank you, I thought I needed new spectacles,” another one tweeted. 

“They need to start having people with college degrees in the jersey department?” a third one said. 

Meanwhile, San Francisco pass rusher Nick Bosa has been ruled out of the game because of a concussion after a collision with teammate D.J. Jones.

Bosa was rushing Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott from the left side when he was crunched in the head and neck area as Jones came from the other direction late in the second quarter Sunday. Bosa stayed down for a couple of minutes before flashing a thumbs-up as he prepared to leave the field.

The 49ers’ sack leader during the regular season went to the locker room before halftime and was ruled out early in the third quarter.

Bosa had 15½ sacks during the regular season and was credited with half a sack of Prescott in the first half. San Francisco was up 16-7 at halftime.
