Cowboys Embarrassing Loss to the Packers Fuels ESPN Ratings as Jerry Jones’ Mike McCarthy Stance Invites Curious Attention

Jerry Jones has faith in Mike McCarthy! This was proven when, after a heartbreaking defeat to the Green Bay Packers and being unable to reach the playoffs, the CEO chose to stick with McCarty in the ring. Moreover, compared to the previous records, Jones believed the team would surely do better. Surprisingly, the ratings of the match continue to rise, even after the team’s loss against the Packers, adding another unexpected element to the incident.

Jerry Jones found it interesting that there were several “layers of success” experienced during McCarty’s tenure with the Cowboys, which had the potential to yield favorable results in the future. However, during this decision on Wednesday, another piece of news from the Packers game has caused a stir in the NFL community. It claims that the last Packers and Cowboys matchup broke all records in NFL ratings.

The Packers and Cowboys matchup has garnered millions of ratings!

In the recent X post in Front Office Sports, there is a sudden hike in the ESPN ratings. The post reads, “ESPN drew record ratings on Monday, fueled by coverage of the Cowboys collapse.” As per the data, the First Take has 1.5 million viewers, the most-viewed record ever. While Get Up and NFL Live have crossed 900+ viewers, The Pat McAfee Show has crossed 811k viewers, which is the most ever viewers in the show.

This massive record indicated that despite this huge 48-32 loss, the team enjoyed an enormous following and continued to be one of the most loved teams in the league. Another massive achievement of the team is that it enjoys the most-watched wild-card game on the network since 2015, as per Fox Sports.

Considering the owner’s popularity, they might want to keep him as their roaster. As Jerry Jones believed, “Our loss on Sunday is shared by everyone here, not just Coach McCarthy.” However, many analysts protest against this decision.

Unlike Jerry Jones, the die-hard NFL fan doesn’t want McCarthy

As soon as Adam Smith made this announcement to his X account, even after the loss, Cowboys HC Mike McCarthy was returning for the 2024 season. An analyst and a die-hard fan of the Cowboys, Skip Bayless showed his disregard for this decision.

Bayless, in a confusing tone, posted, “No” on his X account. However, he credited Mike McCarthy’s long-ago Super Bowl victory to Aaron Rodgers and his defense. Additionally, he announced this burning question to be answered in his show: “Can you ever see Mike McCarthy and Dak Prescott winning a Super Bowl together?
