Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is standing by head coach Mike McCarthy despite their humiliating 47-9 home loss to the Lions. Jones insists he’s not considering a coaching change, despite questions about McCarthy’s future.

Quarterback Dak Prescott has expressed confidence in McCarthy and says he’s willing to “go to war” for him. Prescott believes McCarthy’s message and emotions after the loss show that he’s committed to the team.
