Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy slammed a tablet on the ground during Sunday's loss to Atlanta.
It happened with about 8:30 left in the second quarter. Falcons quarterback threw a 36-yard touchdown to wide receiver Darnell Mooney, who was wide open due to a breakdown in Cowboys coverage. The busted play, combined with the overall underperformance by the Cowboys this season, seemed to set off McCarthy, who raised his tablet above his head with both hands and threw it down on the ground.
Frustration is mounting for Mike McCarthy

Frustration will cause coaches to throw things around, but you have to be careful when throwing down tablets, as those can be very expensive.
It was another one of those days for the Cowboys, who lost to the Falcons 27-21 and are now 3-5 on the season. If they do not make the playoffs, it is almost a certainty that McCarthy will be fired after the season.
