• Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says McCarthy will return as coach
• Dallas lost 48-32 to Green Bay in stunning NFC wildcard playoff

Mike McCarthy will get another chance to end a nearly three-decade stretch without a deep playoff run for the Dallas Cowboys, a decision that ends three days of intense speculation over the coach's future.

Owner and general manager Jerry Jones said Wednesday night that McCarthy will be back for a fifth season after a stunning 48-32 wild-card loss to Green Bay.
