It doesn’t appear that Mike McCarthy had any time for stragglers after the Dallas Cowboys beat the New York Giants on Thursday.
Dallas won a second consecutive game, leaving the field with a 27-20 victory over the struggling Giants, who have hardly shown improvement since changing their quarterback.
The NFC affair was not as entertaining as the scoreline suggests, but the Cowboys got the job done, with DeMarvion Overshown, in particular, putting his stamp on the game. The linebacker made nine tackles, recovered a fumble, and returned an INT for a touchdown while Micah Parsons put pressure on the quarterback all game.
On the offensive end, running back Rico Dowdle rushed for a season-high 112 yards, which was a welcome sight given Dallas’ struggles on the ground this season.
Deuce Vaughn was not involved after being a healthy scratch against the Washington Commanders on Sunday. And McCarthy refused to celebrate with him after Thursday night’s win, snubbing him after he came in for a dap-up while the head coach was handing them out.

Mike McCarthy Couldn’t Have Done This On Purpose, Right?
While it doesn’t seem as if McCarthy would have missed a player standing right in front of him, we have to give him the benefit of the doubt here.
We can’t explain exactly what happened here because it’s hard to tell, but it’s pretty difficult to believe a head coach would ignore one of his players so blatantly in front of that many people.
