Sunday, in front of their fierce fans at AT&T Stadium, the Dallas Cowboys watched the Detroit Lions have fun like young first-timers on their field.
The 47-9 home loss was the worst since Jerry Jones took over the team in 1989.
With 35 years of home games, let’s just say that’s not a distinction the current edition of the team wants to maintain.
After the match, reporters had questions for Jones who is not in the habit of mincing his words, especially when he is unhappy.
“I haven’t yet thought about changing coaches,” he insists. I want to be clear here, I’m not thinking about that. »
Coach Mike McCarthy is currently in the final year of his contract, having led the Cowboys bench since 2020.
With records of 12-5 in his first three campaigns, McCarthy was never able to make it past the divisional rounds in the NFL playoffs. He even recorded two defeats at home during playoff football.
For the season, Dallas is 3-3 and we’re gearing up for a bye week.
In 2010, in a precarious situation, Jones fired coach Wade Phillips in the middle of the season to install Jason Garrett in his place. The Cowboys owner was content to be evasive when questions began swirling around the subject after Sunday’s game.
Dallas is currently dealing with injuries to several key players, including Micah Parsons, Eric Kendricks, DeMarcus Lawrence and DaRon Bland.
