NFL fans were blasting Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy for a head-scratching decision during Sunday’s blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills.

Even though the playoff-bound Cowboys were trailing 31-3 late in the fourth quarter, McCarthy decided to keep his offensive starters for garbage time. Fans were particularly ripping on McCarthy for putting quarterback Dak Prescott at risk with the game way out of reach:

McCarthy leaving Dak in to take more unnecessary shots in week 15 when they won't have a first round bye so they can lose 31-10 instead of 31-3

Mike McCarthy is an idiot. Take out dak Prescott before he tears in ACL in wet weather

Prescott just took two hard hits with 2:50 left, down 28. They wound up with a TD. Now it’s 31-10. Great job, McCarthy. You risked the whole season to get beat 31-10 instead of 31-3. Moron. #DallasCowboys #CowboyNation #BillsMafia #NFL #NFLTwitter

Leaving Dak Prescott and Cowboys starters in to take all of this punishment is insanely stupid.

Mike McCarthy needs to get it together.

Fortunately, Prescott avoided injury and helped Dallas find the end zone late in the game, with CeeDee Lamb scoring on a three-yard run. The damage was long done, however, with the Bills cruising to a 31-10 victory.
