The Dallas Cowboys look like a team on a mission right now.
Mike McCarthy has done an outstanding job of keeping his team grounded whether they won or lost the prior contest.
So, now that they’ve reached 10 wins, that hasn’t changed at all for the team.
When asked about potentially clinching a postseason berth, the former Super Bowl champion stated that he’s just focused on getting to 11 wins (via Jon Machota).
Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy when asked about clinching a playoff berth with a win Sunday: “Focused on 11 wins. You can save that (question) for next week. That’s the goal, but we want to win our division. All the things we said at the beginning of the season, nothing has changed.…

McCarthy doubled down on the team’s commitment to winning the division, so it’s not just about clinching a postseason berth.
Of course, teams tend to lay back and relax a little once they’ve already secured a playoff spot, but the Cowboys have a realistic shot at a first-round bye and home-field advantage, and that could be crucial in the postseason, especially considering the fact that they’ve won 15 consecutive games at AT&T Stadium, all while averaging more than 30 points per game.
Not many people took the Cowboys seriously when they said at the beginning of the season that they could challenge the Philadelphia Eagles for the top of their division.
Fast forward to today, and they look much better than Nick Sirianni’s team.
And while they still need to beat the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC to make it to the big game, you have to like their chances against every single team they square off after watching them dominate their way through the first 14 weeks of the regular season.
