Mike McCarthy Drops Truth on What Caused Dallas Cowboys’ Week 15 Loss

The Dallas Cowboys faced numerous challenges in Week 15 against the Buffalo Bills, but head coach Mike McCarthy acknowledges that their run defense played the most significant role in the defeat.

In a 31-10 loss to the Bills, the Cowboys struggled to contain Buffalo’s rushing attack. Despite quarterback Josh Allen throwing for only 94 yards, the Bills dominated on the ground. Second-year running back James Cook was instrumental, rushing for 179 yards and scoring one touchdown on 25 carries. Notably, Cook’s rushing yards exceeded the entire production of the Cowboys, who managed only 89 yards on the ground.

The Cowboys’ performance was notably subpar, offering little resistance to the Bills and consequently suffering the consequences. While Dak Prescott’s performance didn’t contribute positively, with no touchdown passes and an interception, the game might not have been a blowout if the Cowboys had effectively slowed down the Bills.

McCarthy expressed his dissatisfaction with the team’s overall performance, emphasizing the shortcomings in their run defense. He acknowledged the Bills’ success in exploiting the edges and breaking tackles, highlighting the team’s failure in areas where they had previously excelled.

In reflecting on the loss, McCarthy recognized the need for improvement across all three phases of the game, starting with himself. He acknowledged the importance of putting points on the board to support the defense and lamented the team’s failure to provide the necessary assistance.
