Christian McCaffrey scored his first touchdown for the Niners in the fourth quarter. There is a time and a place.
McCarthy has been with the Packers for 13 seasons and knows the ins and outs of Lambeau Field better than anyone else.
Facing fourth-and-3 from the Green Bay 35-yard line on the first possession of overtime, McCarthy passed on attempting a 53-yard field goal into the wind. The Cowboys lost to the Packers and fell to third place in the division.
McCarthy said that they were close to a field goal. I think we need to go for it. The way the game was going made me call it on second down. A big play. A big play. A big play. Our thing was to continue to play. Good calls were made. The decision on fourth-and-3 was fine with me. Didn't convert, just didn't
The Packers would have had an opportunity to win on the next possession if the field goal had been made.
On the season, he has missed from 59 yards. The wind changed directions during the game.
The wind was one of the factors. I think I could've hit a clean ball that way but I like the call to go for the win. We are here to win. That was a good call.
McCarthy was upset after two penalties wiped out gains of 9 and 16 yards by Tony Pollard as the Cowboys were on their way to a potential winning touchdown.
McCarthy thought that he was in complete control in overtime. It was very, very, very frustrated with the penalties and things. You have to overcome those challenges. The group of men have it. Just disappointment for them.
The players were 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609-
A number of them said they wanted to win the game for McCarthy, who was the head coach of the Packers for 13 years. He tipped his cap to the crowd after the announcement that he was coming back, as well as those of nine other Cowboys assistant coaches with connections to the Packers.
We wanted to get it for him. It's a shame we didn't. It's all done. It is not possible to sugarcoat it. There isn't anything else to add on. We wanted to give it to Mike, but we didn't do that because we wanted to lay another brick on where we're going. We will find a way to make this team better.
About 40 family and friends attended McCarthy's birthday party. He arrived six hours before the game and was able to meet with a lot of people. He shared hugs with his former teammates on the field, including Rodgers. McCarthy and Rodgers embraced after Crosby kicked the game winning field goal.
McCarthy was emotional at the end and didn't want to relive it.
He said he wasn't trying to be rude. I'm not I'm not arrogant.
