NFL.com: 20 (LW: 21)

The climb begins.

For a Cowboys group that’s been eradicated from the playoffs, the urgency stage seemed to be fairly excessive in Sunday night time’s dwelling recreation towards the Buccaneers. The execution was fairly respectable, too, with Cooper Rush handing over one of many higher video games of what’s turn into a reasonably darned good season for the backup QB, regardless of the bottom assault struggling for the primary time in a number of weeks. Flaws and all, Rush now has led 4 wins in seven 2024 begins, with an 11:3 TD-to-INT ratio over his 11 complete appearances. However this season isn’t about him. The most important unknown stays the long-term destiny of coach Mike McCarthy, and based mostly on how Dallas is taking part in down the stretch, it appears like this one is trending within the course of McCarthy maintaining his publish … if his group can proceed to be aggressive within the closing two video games. Cowboys followers may really feel ambivalent about that, however McCarthy coaxing this squad into high quality performances displays fairly nicely on his teaching capacity.

ESPN: 19 (LW: 21)

They included a rookie of the 12 months for every group as nicely.

Rookie of the 12 months: Heart Cooper Beebe

Beebe, the Cowboys’ third-round choose, has began each recreation he has performed, lacking one due to a concussion. He had by no means performed heart in a recreation earlier than this season, however he has dealt with the accountability nicely with minimal points snapping the ball. He has been stable together with his calls, although he may should be extra authoritative, which ought to include extra expertise. A full offseason program will make him stronger, and he strikes nicely sufficient to provide the Cowboys choices within the run recreation. — Todd Archer

USA At the moment: 18 (LW: 20)

One other slight bump up.

Is anybody doing extra to protect HC Mike McCarthy’s employment than All-Professional Okay Brandon Aubrey, whose 14 discipline objectives past 50 yards are already a single-season NFL report?

Yahoo: 18 (LW: 20)

And one other!

Mike McCarthy has a .612 successful proportion, and the three head coaches behind him on the all-time listing are Invoice Walsh, Sean McVay and Tom Landry. He’s 49-33 with the Cowboys. He has rallied a shorthanded group after a 3-7 begin. But if he returns in 2025, it received’t be a preferred transfer amongst followers.

CBS Sports activities: 19 (LW: 22)

It’s a high 20 celebration.

Two consecutive victories is perhaps saving Mike McCarthy’s job — and possibly ought to. They’re nonetheless taking part in onerous, though they’re completed.

High half! Additionally they provided a “big question” for every group and this one’s is apparent.

The large query: Will Mike McCarthy return?

The Cowboys head coach is making a powerful case for his job safety down the stretch. Dallas has received 4 of its final 5 whereas beginning backup Cooper Rush at quarterback. Dallas was eradicated from the playoffs earlier than Sunday night time’s win over Tampa however nonetheless received a shootout with one of many league’s hottest groups. Since Week 12, the Cowboys are eleventh in scoring (27.4) and level differential (plus-26).

Sports activities Illustrated: 22 (LW: 21)
