Despite Close Win Over Chargers, HC Mike McCarthy Refers to Cowboys as ‘Ordinary People’

HC Mike McCarthy had an eye-opener message to the Cowboys. In the wake of a hard-fought victory against the Chargers, the Dallas Cowboys coach addressed his team, emphasizing their true identity as ‘ordinary people’ achieving extraordinary feats. This pivotal moment followed a Super Bowl-winning coach’s reflection on their recent triumph at SoFi Stadium.

McCarthy’s message carries weight, acknowledging the absence of iconic figures like RB Emmitt Smith and a prime Ezekiel Elliott in the current lineup. He urges the team to recognize this reality, which likely could shape their path to success.

Cowboys find strength in McCarthy’s words

In the locker room, McCarthy delivered two succinct yet powerful directives: “Everybody knows the schedule. Take care of your business…, at four in a row. And, you know, we’ll get more and so when you get back.” He underscored the importance of routine and rest, instilling confidence in his players.

Furthermore, McCarthy’s words resonated with a team that has weathered criticism. McCarthy added, “Last thing I got for you ordinary people with extraordinary beliefs, extraordinary things. Keep believe and keep building this thing. Let’s keep stacking.” The journey hasn’t been without its setbacks.

Standing at 4-2, the Cowboys remain in the hunt in the NFC East, relentlessly pursuing the division-leading Philadelphia Eagles. The upcoming showdown with the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, Oct 29 promises to be a defining moment for both teams, with the Rams entering the contest with a balanced record of 3 wins and 3 losses.

The Cowboys riding high

Dak Prescott’s flawless connection with CeeDee Lamb and Brandin Cooks last week is a testament to their potential. Prescott’s 81% completion rate when targeting Lamb places him second in the NFL, showcasing his prowess. The Cowboys’ offense found momentum as Prescott spotted Tony Pollard in the midfield, delivering an improvised pass. Pollard’s evasive 60-yard run electrified the game, providing the much-needed boost for Dallas.

However, after a disheartening loss to the 49ers, critics scrutinized Prescott’s performance. In a challenging game, Dallas Cowboys QB Prescott encountered one of the most trying moments of his career, recording a 58.3% completion rate, 153 yards, one touchdown, and three interceptions, equaling his career low.

The Cowboys forge ahead, fueled by McCarthy’s words of encouragement. The journey is unpredictable, but with belief and determination, they aim to leave an indelible mark on the season. Do you think they will? Let us know in the comments.
