Dallas Cowboys Head Coach, Mike McCarthy, painted a happy figure after Sunday’s win over the Vikings. The former Green Bay Packers man spoke highly about the second-string quarterback, Andy Dalton, at the post-game press meet.
“I’m definitely very happy, you know, for the offense and Andy…it was a full week’s work coming into this. I thought he did a heck of a job, he kept us in clean plays, really gave us the ability to stay with the runner and pass…
“Just created opportunities… that’s the way we want to play, spread the ball around to our 5-perimeter positions… as were going up against a really stingy defense here in Minnesota,” McCarthy told press personnel.

Dalton’s performance was commendable, considering the fact that he was not fully fit. Additionally, the veteran quarterback was still suffering from some post-concussion complications. As per reports, Dalton was still struggling with his sensory reflexes in the build-up to Sunday’s game.
Dalton will look to build upon that fitness heading into next week’s crucial clash against the Alex Smith-led Washington Football Team. But Coach McCarthy will hope to have his quarterback firing on all cylinders.
Who knows? Maybe the Cowboys might just wriggle their way into the Playoffs after all.
