Jerry Jones, owner and General Manager of the Dallas Cowboys, expressed both pride in his team’s performance and disappointment following Sunday night’s 40-40 tie against the Green Bay Packers. The result leaves Dallas with a 1-2-1 record through the first four games of the season.
The tie represents a missed opportunity for the Cowboys to improve thier standing in a competitive NFC conference, perhaps impacting their playoff chances. Jones’ comments underscore the high expectations within the association and the frustration of failing to capitalize on a strong showing. The Cowboys now face a crucial stretch of games as they aim to build momentum and secure a winning record.
“I’m proud of this bunch,” Jones stated after the game. “They competed their tails off tonight.They competed out there at the end when they were tired.I’m proud of them. I thought we played well enough to win the game.” He added, expressing his dismay, “I’m sick for these players, sick for these coaches and mostly sick for our fans that we didn’t bring home a win.”
Jones specifically highlighted the performance of quarterback Dak Prescott, believing he outperformed Packers’ quarterback Jordan Love. “To not come out with a W for that one is unbelievable for him,” Jones said. “I thought he was the better quarterback tonight.”
Despite a performance that exceeded many pre-game predictions, a last-second field goal by the Packers denied the Cowboys a victory.Jones’ post-game remarks reflect a sentiment of encouragement for his team, coupled with the sting of a game that slipped away.
