Cowboys news: Andy Dalton gets the win, and Mike McCarthy’s motivational sledgehammer

It was good to see Dalton back on the field, this team really needed him.

Against the Vikings, the Cowboys scored four touchdowns in 10 possessions. The 11th possession was the best kind, with Dalton taking a knee to kill the clock.

“It was a full week of work coming into this, but I thought he did a heck of a job,” coach Mike McCarthy said. “He kept us in clean plays, really gave us the ability to stay with the run and the pass. I thought [offensive coordinator Kellen Moore] called an excellent game.
