Mike McCarthy and clock management aren’t on the best of terms right now.
The Dallas Cowboys head coach has struggled with clock management throughout his career. The same has been true of his time in Dallas, especially on Sunday night.
McCarthy’s struggles were on major display at the end of the fourth quarter. The Cowboys called a timeout on 4th and 1, leaving a lot of time on the clock before their game-tying field goal attempt.
The kick was good, but it left more than 20 seconds left on the clock for the Patriots. While New England didn’t do anything with that time, it’s fair to question McCarthy for his decision.
CBS announcer Tony Romo called him out on the broadcast, questioning the decision.
Everyone else has taken to social media to call out McCarthy for his brutal clock management.
“Mike McCarthy and clock management are not allies,” Colin Cowherd tweeted.

“Kellen Moore runs Dallas’ offense. Dan Quinn runs Dallas’ defense. Mike McCarthy mismanages the clock and makes incredibly stupid decisions,” Doug Farrar added.
