Mike McCarthy: Cowboys Need to Make Win over Vikings ‘Mean Something’

Bruce Kluckhohn/Associated Press

In isolation, beating the Minnesota Vikings was sorely needed for the Dallas Cowboys to snap a four-game losing skid. Head coach Mike McCarthy doesn’t want the momentum from Sunday’s 31-28 victory to fade.

McCarthy emphasized to reporters how the result “needs to mean something”:

“There’s a lot of football left to be played. You have to play your best football in November and December, so obviously with the state of our division, that focus is ours. We need to win Thursday, and this will be our first opportunity to really stack success, and that’s the key to where we are as a team. All three phases played well. This is clearly the most rounded performance, victory we’ve had this year. It took us a little longer to get here, but I clearly think the journey will make us stronger.

“We need to do something with this win. It needs to mean something.”
