McCarthy says Cowboys will beat Washington: 'I'm confident in that'

Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy is sure his side will come out victorious against the Washington Football Team on Sunday.

"We're going to win this game," McCarthy said Thursday, according to Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News. "I'm confident in that."

However, McCarthy isn't concerned his remark will be bulletin board material for Dallas' division rival.

"What am I supposed to say? I fully expect to win every game I've ever competed in," McCarthy added.

The Cowboys enter the Week 14 showdown at 8-4. Washington sits in second in the NFC East with a 6-6 record, meaning a win Sunday would put the team a game back of the Cowboys.

Dallas has lost three of its last five contests, while Washington is on a four-game winning streak.

Washington swept the Cowboys last season, though Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott didn't participate in either contest due to injury.
