LAS VEGAS — Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy wants quarterback Trey Lance to find a comfort zone and play within his capabilities.Forget living up to being the No. 3 overall pick by San Francisco out of North Dakota State in 2021, the key is assuring McCarthy the Cowboys didn’t make a mistake in trading for him nearly one year ago.The 24-year-old acquitted himself quite well Saturday in Dallas’ 27-12 exhibition victory over the Raiders.
