It’s awful generous of Mike McCarthy to keep giving us small plays here and there to dissect and debate, ad nauseam, despite the Cowboys looking at a five-game winning streak and being one missed offensive pass interference penalty away from undefeated. He must know we love that kind of stuff.
In all seriousness, the Cowboys’ overtime win against the Patriots on the road Sunday was, in many ways, a perfect summation of the Mike McCarthy era Cowboys. The team played well enough to win, overcoming injuries and a flurry of unfavorable calls from the officials, and did so despite being given plenty of opportunities to waive the white flag.
