ARLINGTON, Texas — Never in Mike McCarthy’s dreams did he think his first home game as Dallas Cowboys head coach would go like this.

But he won’t forget it either.

What looked like one of the worst losses of McCarthy’s career and one of the most lopsided the Cowboys have had in recent years, turned into one of the most spectacular wins in recent years.

Greg Zuerlein’s 46-yard field goal as time expired gave the Cowboys an exhilarating 40-39 victory that could not be believed.

A squibbing on-side kick attempt by Zuerlein that was recovered by C.J. Goodwin and was followed by a 24-yard catch by rookie CeeDee Lamb from Dak Prescott set up Zuerlein’s winner.
