Mike McCarthy Seemingly Throws Dak Prescott Under the Bus on Controversial Final Play Call

People are still questioning why the Cowboys ran the ball with such little time left on the clock.

The Cowboys needed one more snap in order to try to win the game, but ultimately the decision to run cost them the playoff game. An official bumped into the lineman and was unable to spot the ball in time for a spike.

Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said the change they would make on the last play would be for Dak Prescott to stop at 10 yards.

Why is McCarthy even revealing Dak called the audible?

Makes you think he’s trying to casually pass the blame onto Dak.

The Cowboys are always the hottest of hot dumpster fires.
