Mike McCarthy Calls Out Cowboys’ Major Issue After 49ers Defeat
The Dallas Cowboys were once again outmatched by the San Francisco 49ers in a crushing 42-10 loss on Sunday night, marking their fourth consecutive defeat against their NFC rivals. Head coach Mike McCarthy didn’t hold back, addressing what he believes is the team’s most pressing issue: a lack of physicality and consistency.
“There’s a difference between being aggressive and being physical, and we didn’t meet the mark,” McCarthy said. “We’ve been pushed around, and that has to stop if we want to go anywhere this season.”
McCarthy pointed out that while the team has the talent, especially with stars like Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb, they haven’t been able to execute under high-pressure conditions. The Cowboys’ defense, often praised for its high-energy style, struggled to contain the 49ers’ ground game and was worn down by sustained drives.
With this loss bringing them to a 3-2 record, McCarthy emphasized that consistency across both sides of the ball is needed if the Cowboys are to make a genuine playoff push. The upcoming stretch will test Dallas, and McCarthy’s message couldn’t be clearer: it’s time to address the fundamentals before aiming for any big wins.
