Everyone, including Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, and the entire football world, was confused about McCarthy’s baffling decision.
so with 8 seconds left and 2 timeouts Mike McCarthy really told the ref he didnāt want to call a timeout until 3 seconds so he could settle for a FG????? pic.twitter.com/33IPGVpyE7

It’s wild how many times McCarthy botches these types of decisions unless he doesn’t trust Dak Prescott to not throw an interception before halftime.
