The bad moment of the Dallas Cowboys deserves strong opinions from head coach Mike McCarthy, who also reacted to the performance of quarterback Dak Prescott, the driver of a team that was preparing to reach the Super Bowl, but has reaped a negative record of 3-4 in the current 2024 NFL season.

Two consecutive defeats by at least 30 points are symptoms enough to warrant a change in strategy on the defensive side of the ball, but also on the offensive. With that in mind, McCarthy turned the spotlight on Prescott and his expectations for the 31-year-old veteran quarterback, who is also the highest paid in the league.

“The point is to make him successful. If anything, I’d be wary of asking him to feel like he has to do more than what he’s already doing. He just needs to concentrate on playing quarterback. He’s a hard worker. He’s super diligent. And we’ll get to where we need to be, McCarthy said of Prescott, according to Dallas Cowboys expert Jon Machota.

While conceding 77 points in two games is a worrying indicator for the Cowboys, McCarthy focused on how to improve their attack. “We need to get more production out of the run game, increase the action pass opportunities. And then from that, take it to the next step and that’s the pass protection, and obviously the pass perimeter,” declared the Dallas franchise head coach.
