Mike McCarthy says 'didn't coach very well' in the Cowboys' loss Monday. His players reportedly agree

The Dallas Cowboys had to play their first game without quarterback Dak Prescott on Monday night, and to say it didn’t go well would be a massive understatement. It was clear early on that Prescott’s replacement, Andy Dalton, wouldn’t come anywhere close to replacing the injured quarterback. Ezekiel Elliott fumbled the ball twice in one quarter, and both of those turnovers led to touchdowns.

The Cowboys lost 38-10, and it was a bad night all around. Not just for the players, but for the coaches. Head coach Mike McCarthy’s postgame comments didn’t inspire confidence, and now his players are anonymously giving quotes about the coaching staff.
