FRISCO, Texas -- It always seemed a bit strange, the partnership between Mike McCarthy and Kellen Moore.
Back in 2015, while with the Green Bay Packers, McCarthy said he would never not call plays again as a head coach. Yet he accepted the Dallas Cowboys' job in 2020 and kept Moore as the offensive coordinator and playcaller despite the pair having no background together.
On Monday, the Cowboys' past and present collide at SoFi Stadium (8:15 p.m. ET, ABC/ESPN) in a game where what Moore did for Dallas, and now does for the Chargers, will be compared to what McCarthy has done in 2023 as a playcaller.
