owner Jerry Jones believes 's decision to smash watermelons during a team meeting prior to Sunday's game helped lift the squad to a 31-28 win over the Minnesota Vikings.
Appearing on NFL Network's Good Morning Football (h/t Ian Rapoport of NFL Network) on Wednesday, Jones said the team was "inspired" by McCarthy.
"I don't know if it was the watermelons, but they were inspired," Jones said. "If it takes knocking the water out of a watermelon before every game, I'll line up for that."
The Cowboys owner added that McCarthy "didn't know how much water was in" a watermelon when he smashed it.
