And on top of that, no one's making excuses, but we have had some real challenges in the injury category.

Dallas Cowboys (@dallascowboys) Losing Dak Prescott to a gruesome compound fracture and dislocated ankle in Week 5 certainly did nothelp matters for McCarthy after the two-time Pro Bowl quarterback started all 64 games for the Cowboys from 2016-19.Since Prescott's injury, the Cowboys turned to Andy Dalton at quarterback before he suffered a concu sion and landed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, which forced the team to hand the keys of the offense to Ben DiNucci and Garrett Gilbert. Needle s to say, the results have notbeen pretty.Through Week 5, Dallas ranked first in the NFL in pa sing at 381.4 yards per game and third in the league in scoring at 32.6 points per game.
