A head coach having confidence in his team shouldn’t be a shock, but when its rivalry week everything gets magnified.
“We’re going to win this game,” McCarthy stated Thursday. “I’m confident in that.”
“What am I supposed to say?” McCarthy asked, via the Dallas Morning News’ Michael Gehlken. “I fully expect to win every game I’ve ever competed in.”
Even after losing two straight at the end of November, McCarthy’s team has won two-thirds of the games in which it’s appeared this season. It’s been a significant turnaround from the Cowboys’ struggle to a 6-10 finish in 2020, and has them in position to make a deep playoff run.
