Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy has been part of a roller coaster season that has featured more downs than ups through 12 weeks.

The Dallas Cowboys are not having the season that anyone expected that has been around the franchise. Week 1 started with a win over the Cleveland Browns, as the front office celebrated locking down CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott with life-changing money contracts.
