Dallas Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys face increasing challenges as backup quarterback Cooper Rush leads the team following Dak Prescott's injury. Amidst significant pressure, the Cowboys' recent performance against the Houston Texans revealed on-field chemistry issues and questions about Rush's leadership ability. Head coach Mike McCarthy emphasizes team responsibility, yet concerns grow about maintaining playoff hopes.

Despite the Dallas Cowboys' disappointing 3-6 record, owner Jerry Jones has confirmed he will not fire head coach Mike McCarthy during the season, emphasizing the importance of continuity and accountability within the team. Following a heavy loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Jones reflects on past coaching changes and sets criteria for evaluating performance, indicating he will consider context like injuries and competitive play in any post-season decisions.
