Cowboys news: Mike McCarthy feels team will benefit from close win vs. Seahawks

Dallas will learn from this type of test.

There was a narrative swirling over the head of the Dallas Cowboys that claimed they couldn’t defeat a team with a winning record, and that they couldn’t win a close game against a good team, and that Dak Prescott couldn’t set fire to the scoreboard when facing an elite defense; but all three of those allegations were dropped into an open grave on Thursday night.

The gutsy and fiery 41-35 victory over the Seattle Seahawks serves as a message for all.

“Well, I told the team after the game, we need games like this,” said head coach Mike McCarthy who called a masterful offensive game from the sideline.
