IRVING, Texas — Mike McCarthy's ability to keep the injury-depleted Dallas Cowboys competitive could factor into whether the team gives him a contract extension. McCarthy, who is in the final year of his contract, led Dallas (5-8) to three straight 12-win seasons, including a pair of NFC East titles, before things unraveled this year.
