Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy was back in the office after a 10-day absence due to COVID-19, and he expressed confidence in his team.
McCarthy said that they were going to win the game. I'm confident in that.
It wasn't Jimmy Johnson's bold call into a local radio station before the 1993 NFC Championship Game against the San Francisco 49ers when the Hall of Fame coach said, "We will win the ballgame." It can be put in three-inch headlines. McCarthy believes in his team.
What am I supposed to say? McCarthy said something. I expect to win every game I play. That's what sports is all about. That's what the NFL is all about. Trust me, I know how hard it is. They're working hard. We're working hard. We're definitely going to win the game in Washington. There's no doubt about that.
Washington has won four straight games and will play the Cowboys in the next three weeks. McCarthy showed a video about the history of the rivalry between the two teams.
The Cowboys lost both games last year that they played without their quarterback. In his career, he is 7-1 against Washington.
McCarthy said that they were focused on self-improvement and winning. We have to do everything we can to win the game. The work ethic of our football team is very high and these guys are very accountable. They are very accountable. We know what people think of us. We love that. We're comfortable with who we are and where we are, but I'm excited about what's in front of us.
The Cowboys will play four games in theNFC East and one against the best team in the league in January.
McCarthy said this is December football. December football is what defines your season. You have to do it in December. We can't get to where we want to go if we don't take care of things. We're on a five-week stretch. Hopefully this will last seven days. That would be nice. I really like the way this works for us.
McCarthy had a 39-19 career mark in December.
He's never worried about bulletin board material.
He said that it was a waste of time. I'm more focused on the real stuff. I think it's important to know how the opponent is going to play you things you're expecting during the week. They're blank faces by Friday. Staying on the details of where we need to improve is what we're about. That's enough work to me.
