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.

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.

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.

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.
