The Cowboys didn't get the win on Sunday, but they looked much better as a team than they have in a while. Coach Mike McCarthy met with the press to talk about the loss and what is happening in the future as the team heads into a bye week. (All answers are paraphrased and not actual quotes).
Feeling the team is more competitive now
Coach thinks teams are always up and down and early in the season they are trying to get over certain thresholds like play speed and style. Offensively they got there quicker than defense.
