In a surprising turn of events, the Dallas Cowboys, who were already out of the playoff race, managed to secure a victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday night. This win came as a relief to the team’s owner, Jerry Jones, especially given the ongoing uncertainties about the future of their head coach, Mike McCarthy. The Cowboys, now with a record of 7-8, have shown resilience by winning four out of their last five games, all without their star quarterback, Dak Prescott, who is injured.

Jones praised his team for their determination, stating, “Those guys wouldn’t give up. I’m incredibly proud of them. ” McCarthy, whose contract is about to expire, has been credited with keeping the team focused on their goal despite the recent setbacks. Even though the Cowboys have been eliminated from the playoffs earlier than expected, this victory has shown the team's spirit.

The Cowboys' playoff hopes were dashed before their Sunday night game, and the reality of this hit both Jones and McCarthy hard. But the team managed to rally and pulled off a 26-24 win against the Buccaneers, who were still in the playoff chase. This win came as a surprise after a five-game losing streak earlier in the season.

McCarthy has a solid regular-season record with the Cowboys, standing at 49-33, but his playoff record is less impressive at 1-3. Despite the victory and Jones’ praise, the future of McCarthy’s contract remains uncertain. Jones chose not to discuss the coach's contract status but acknowledged McCarthy’s good work.
