Mike McCarthy is in the final year of his five-year contract as head coach of the Cowboys, facing scrutiny as the team struggles without Dak Prescott. Despite the challenges, owner Jerry Jones has publicly supported McCarthy, emphasizing that he has demonstrated the ability to guide the team through adversity.

Dak Prescott is out for the season, putting the Cowboys in a challenging position as they aim to avoid missing the playoffs for the first time since 2020. His absence raises questions about head coach Mike McCarthy's future, despite Jerry Jones expressing support for him.

The Cowboys are struggling defensively, allowing an average of 27.1 points per game, ranking them 29th in the league. Additionally, they have a poor track record at home, going 1-8 against the spread in their last nine games.
