Cowboys news: Mike McCarthy still trying to explain what went wrong

Mike McCarthy had his end of season press conference and the Cowboys coach wasn’t backing down in his support of the final controversial play call.

“I mean, yeah, it’s really probably the only play I looked at,” McCarthy said. “Talked with John Fassel as part of our game situation crew and Kellen [Moore]. When you’re looking at a normal clock play, 16 seconds is the threshold, but then there is the tight clock play situation which we were in. And when you’re trying to go from a different, the 40, 45-yard throw for the final play, because we’re in the last two play sequence.
