After falling to the Minnesota Vikings in the divisional round of the 2009–10 NFL playoffs, the Cowboys sought to defend their NFC East division title and contend for a Super Bowl title, particularly given that Super Bowl XLV would be played at Cowboys Stadium. However, this did not happen and after a 1–7 start Wade Phillips became the first coach in Cowboys history to be fired during the season. He was replaced by assistant head coach and offensive coordinator Jason Garrett.http://content.usatoday.com/communities/thehuddle/post/2010/11/nfl-network-cowboys-fire-wade-phillips-as-head-coach-promote-jason-garrett/1 Cowboys fire Wade Phillips as head coach, promote Jason Garrett November 8, 2010 USA Today Sean Leahy November 8, 2010 The Cowboys finished the season 6–10, 3rd place in the NFC East, and failed to reach the playoffs.

Detroit led 12–7 and was consistently stuffing the Cowboys' offense midway through the third quarter when John Wedling jumped over the goal line and tapped a punt back into the field of play. It hopped up waist-high and right to McCann, and the speedster turned it into the second-longest punt return in franchise history – a week after a 101-yard interception return that was the longest in club history.
