McCarthy is in the last year of his contract, and it remains unclear whether longtime team owner Jerry Jones would ... the sake of better NFL Draft positioning. "I just think the game is too important. The win is too important," Jones said.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has spent the season insisting he wouldn't make a midseason coaching change. Following Sunday's win over the Commanders, he's going the opposite way, suggesting he could extend Mike McCarthy's contract.

McCarthy and the Cowboys were double-digit underdogs against the Commanders, who were 7-4 entering Sunday's matchup. Thanks to a chaotic finish featuring a KaVontae Turpin 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, an 86-yard touchdown from Jayden Daniels to Terry McLaurin to answer and a missed extra point, the Cowboys pulled out the 34-26 victory.
