Mike McCarthy Gives Concerning Quote When Asked About Dreadful Fake Punt On 4th-&-10

The Cowboys only trailed by four points when Mike McCarthy thought it would be a good idea to try some trickery with a fake punt on their side of the field.

It was jet-sweep reverse by way of receiver Cedrick Wilson. Washington made Dallas pay, tackling him a yard behind the line of scrimmage.

It was a horrible play in a horrible situation. Not everybody felt that way.

After the game, Mike McCarthy actually defended the play.
