During his end-of-season press conference Wednesday, Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy doubled down on his team's decision to run a quarterback draw at the end of Sunday's wild-card game against the 49ers.
“It's the right call,” he told reporters.
He also said the threshold for a run was 13 seconds.
In the fourth quarter of the game, Dallas elected for a designed quarterback run with Dak Prescott, with just 13 seconds left in the game and down six points at the 40-yard line. Prescott ran for the first down and more, but the clock continued to run and he couldn't get the snap off in time on for another play.
