FRISCO, Texas -- As Mike McCarthy made the long walk from the Dallas Cowboys' locker room to the team buses outside MetLife Stadium as Thursday night turned to Friday morning, the coach wore a smile on his face.
It was a mix of satisfaction and relief following the Cowboys' 20-15 win against the New York Giants but not contentment. This was merely one win with a long season left to play. But following two straight home defeats, it was one his team badly needed.
And it came with not only his stars, such as quarterback Dak Prescott and receiver CeeDee Lamb, performing well enough, but with major contributions from the back end of the roster, including a player with a last name some teammates don't even know how to pronounce.
