ARLINGTON, Texas -- Mike McCarthy didn't break his routine.
He arrived at AT&T Stadium on Sunday about five hours before the evening kickoff against the Philadelphia Eagles. If he was anxious about anything it was the amount of traffic he encountered on his way in and if his players would arrive on time.
It wasn't nerves about the appendectomy he underwent Wednesday after complaining of pain upon arriving at The Star.
"That was really part of my angst, was just to get here and stay in a routine and get ready to call the game," McCarthy said.
