Mike McCarthy's decision-making came under fire during the fourth quarter of the Dallas Cowboys' narrow 20-19 win over the Detroit Lions on Saturday.
With the Cowboys at Detroit's 33-yard line and just under two minutes remaining in the game while holding onto a 17-13 lead, Dallas attempted three consecutive passes instead of running the ball. One throw fell incomplete, allowing the Lions to save a timeout to use on the ensuing drive.
Detroit marched down the field and scored a touchdown with only 23 seconds remaining, although head coach Dan Campbell decided to attempt a two-point conversion for the win instead of kicking an extra point for the tie.
