Mike McCarthy explains Cowboys’ questionable final play call
Dallas coach Mike McCarthy will be questioned for his final play call in the Cowboys’ wild-card loss to San Francisco on Sunday. He maintains that the Cowboys were ready to execute it, however.
McCarthy controversially ran a quarterback draw from the 49ers’ 40-yard line with 14 seconds left and no timeouts in the fourth quarter, with Dallas in need of a touchdown to tie the game. Dak Prescott got 17 yards, but time ran out on the Cowboys before the QB could spike the ball.
After the game, McCarthy said the Cowboys practiced the play on a weekly basis and anticipated getting another snap. The coach added that he expected more time to be put on the clock after a review as well.
