Bryant, known for his outspoken nature, stated that his analysis of the Cowboys has been accurate over the years. Despite the team's recent struggles, the former three-time Pro Bowler suggested that the trio of McCarthy, Prescott, and Lamb lacks chemistry, and that the overall team dynamic is not cohesive.

“Haven’t considered that,” McCarthy said. “Don’t think like that.” In the last two games with Cooper Rush as the starting quarterback, the Cowboys have averaged just eight points per game. If McCarthy gives up play-calling duties, they would go to offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, who has called plays before.
