Read our privacy policy Dak Prescott said Mike McCarthy’s halftime message was that the outcome mattered less than the character check after an inept first quarter put the Dallas Cowboys way behind in their coach’s home debut. But after Prescott’s third rushing TD pulled them within two in the final two minutes, kicker Greg Zuerlein’s spinning onside kick, executed without a tee, wiped out a game’s worth of miscues and misfires, in part because Atlanta erred by not falling on the ball before it went 10 yards. “We weren’t supposed to win that game,” said running back Ezekiel Elliott who was solid again with 89 yards rushing and a touchdown but is still looking for his first 100-yard game as the Cowboys prepare to visit Seattle on Sunday. They did win, and McCarthy avoided matching the only other 0-2 start of his career — his first season with Green Bay in 2006, four years before he won the Super Bowl with the Packers on the Cowboys’ home field.
