Cowboys news: Mike McCarthy offering praise for KaVontae Turpin’s development

KaVontae Turpin is becoming a bigger part of the Cowboys offense and is an explosive element.

That truth was put on full display on one play in particular against Jack Del Rio’s defense, or rather what was once his defense, when Dak Prescott dropped back on 3rd-and-6 in the fourth quarter — the Cowboys standing on a 31-10 lead — to fire a dot down the seam that became a 34-yard touchdown to Turpin.

It was a master class of scheming by McCarthy and execution by Prescott, Turpin and others (e.g., Brandin Cooks forcing the cornerback to pick his poison) that rewarded Turpin with his third receiving touchdown of the season.
