Mike McCarthy got a win over his former offensive coordinator in Los Angeles on Monday night, but it wasn’t pretty.
It was billed as a revenge game for Kellen Moore against his former boss Mike McCarthy, but that wasn’t the most important story line heading into Monday night’s matchup between thefor why he decided to let him go. McCarthy wanted to run the ball more, while the Chargers welcomed Moore and his pass-heavy scheme with open arms.
Of course, this matchup went down to the wire. Of course, this matchup was filled with mistakes from both sides. But the Cowboys made fewer mistakes, defeating the Chargers, 20–17. Even on a night when Herbert was off his game with missed throws, the Cowboys struggled to put away the Chargers, which makes you wonder why McCarthy decided to move on from Moore. The Cowboys’ offensive numbers are down across the board, and Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb and Tony Pollard are still employed in Dallas.
With a clunky offense, the Cowboys might be headed for another brief postseason appearance if they don’t show improvement in the coming weeks. The Cowboys head into the bye week before facing the McCarthy got bold with two fourth-down calls before halftime, but the Cowboys failed to convert on the second one—a “tush push” that was stopped short on fourth-and-1 from the Chargers’ 13-yard line.
