Instead of running another play with 8 seconds left, McCarthy played it safe and opted for a field goal.
Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy breathes a sigh of relief as he walks to the locker room with a 20-17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, October 16, 2023.Instead of taking one shot at the end zone with eight seconds left in the half, McCarthy elected to let the clock run down to three seconds before calling a timeout to attempt a field goal.
McCarthy said the two play calls are based on down and distance and how much time is left. McCarthy said he would have called 0 Zone, which means a pass play toward the end zone.“We just decided to play it safe instead,” he said. “The other call would have been 0 Zone, you throw the ball in the end zone and give us a shot there. I just felt the way the game was going, I think we had a holding penalty early in the series and just wanted to make sure we got the calls.
Prescott said the Chargers were going to challenge the Cowboys’ receivers in man coverage so a pass toward the end zone needed to be on target.Calvin Watkins .

And now I'm in the midst of the Dak Prescott/Micah Parsons era.
