It’s not been an easy debut season for Mike McCarthy in Texas. The Dallas Cowboys Head Coach led his team to a 2-5 record ahead of yet another loss on Sunday night at the hands of NFC East rivals, the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Jerry Jones-owned franchise succumbed to a 23-9 loss at the Lincoln Financial Field. The third-string quarterback in Ben DiNucci failed to impress on his first start for the Cowboys.

This sub-par outing has left the Head Coach vulnerable to a lot of flak. Can he bring about a turnaround in his team’s fortunes in the second half of the season?

“Tough game tonight. A lot of improvement in a lot of areas. We need to rally and get together here and move on to Pittsburgh. But we took a step in the right direction in a number of areas,” coach McCarthy told Jon Machota.
