Criticism is mounting against Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy for his clock management decisions in a recent game against the Detroit Lions. Various commentators have expressed disbelief and frustration over McCarthy's handling of the game's final minutes, with some suggesting that his choices nearly cost the Cowboys the victory. Despite the Cowboys' win, the focus has been on McCarthy's decision-making, particularly his use of time and play-calling. The consensus among the comments is that McCarthy's clock management was poor, with some calling it a 'masterclass on losing a game' and others questioning whether he understood the game situation. The situation was exacerbated by a decision to throw the ball on second down, which was seen as a significant mistake that could have allowed the Detroit Lions and their quarterback Jared Goff to score.
