Mike McCarthy explains loss to Derek Carr, Saints
Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy revealed why his team struggled against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. While speaking to reporters on Monday, McCarthy said the Saints finished better than Dallas.
“I wouldn’t say it’s an effort issue. I think it really was they were quicker to the first punch than we were,” McCarthy said, per Jon Machota of The Athletic. “They finished better than we did.”
The Cowboys lost to the Saints 44-19 and struggled on both sides of the ball. On offense, Dallas turned the ball over twice and had just 68 rushing yards. On defense, Dallas allowed 432 yards of total offense, including 190 on the ground.
“They had a perfect game plan from the start,” McCarthy admitted, per Sports Illustrated. “They used a combination of big plays in both the passing and running attacks in dominant fashion.”
