Is Cowboys-Giants a Must-Win for Mike McCarthy?
Emmanuel Acho, LeSean McCoy, James Jones, and Chase Daniel discussed whether the Dallas Cowboys’ Thanksgiving matchup against the New York Giants is a must-win for head coach Mike McCarthy. The Cowboys enter Week 13 with a 4-7 record, amplifying the noise surrounding McCarthy’s job security.
NFL icon Tom Brady voiced his support for McCarthy, citing his leadership and play-calling skills. Brady believes McCarthy has “championship DNA” and is one of the better coaches in the NFL.
Despite a recent win over the Washington Commanders and the New York Giants, the Cowboys face a challenging road ahead. Quarterback Dak Prescott will not return until next season due to a hamstring injury, and star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is listed as questionable for next week’s game.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones appears open to retaining McCarthy, stating that it’s not crazy to offer him a contract extension. Jones praised McCarthy’s coaching skills and believes the team has a lot of football left to play.
The uncertainty surrounding McCarthy’s job security will continue to be a topic of conversation as the Cowboys navigate the remainder of the season.
