The Dallas Cowboys have done it again! They have managed to get the hopes of their fans up throughout the season and into the postseason just to let them down. The team had a bad performance against the San Francisco 49ers in the NFL’s divisional round as they were outscored 19-12. While this loss was heartbreaking and frustrating for the team’s fans who had high hopes for this squad and appeared quite convinced that the team is bound to make it to the Super Bowl this season, there was one man who clearly was hurt by this loss more than them.
Head Coach Mike McCarthy was really disappointed following his team’s underwhelming performance against the San Francisco 49ers. While he was walking off the field, there were cameras swarming all across the field, as is the case in most games. During this walk, a cameraman appeared to close in on him from the right to record his facial expressions.
The cameraman may have gotten a bit too close for comfort, as Mike McCarthy was not having it. The Head Coach normally does not show a lot of expressions, but it was evident while he was walking off the field that he was not happy with his team and how the game went. As a result, he appeared to shove the camera and the cameraman away.

Dallas Cowboys HC Mike McCarthy just shoved the camera away as per the photographer:
When this particular video surfaced in the public domain, many believed that Mike McCarthy pushed the cameraman along with the camera. However, it was determined that it was far from reality.
The cameraman in question was Noah Bullard, who took to Twitter after the incident had transpired to shed light on what had actually happened. Here’s the statement he released. “Thank you to everyone that has reached out regarding the Mike McCarthy incident. I can see how the photo appeared like he pushed me but it was more of a hand to the lens. I did meet with coach McCarthy privately in his office and he did apologize.”
Props to Head Coach Mike McCarthy for personally apologizing to the individual. It is natural for him to be agitated and frustrated after a loss, so he may have let his emotions get the best of him in the moment. But he did resolve it and that is all that matters.
