The Dallas Cowboys finally snagged their first win of the season on Sunday, and you can bet Jerry Jones let out a collective sigh of relief. After dropping Week 1 to the Giants, the man admitted there was some serious pressure to get that W against the Commanders in Week 2.
Avoiding the 0-2 Hole
Jones wasn’t kidding around when he talked about the stakes. He straight up said, “It would’ve been hard to walk down here and talk to y’all tonight 0-2.” That’s real talk from an owner. He confessed, “I really was worried about what it was going to be like if we did end up 0-2.” Jones even gave props to the Washington Commanders’ coaching, acknowledging the challenge they posed. This wasn’t some easy stroll, and that win was absolutely critical for everyone involved. He made it clear: “This was a very important win for us, important to these guys who put the work in, the coaching staff, for Brian, and I’m really proud of them.”
Believing in the Upgrade
Despite the initial struggle, Jones is still feeling good about the team’s potential. He’s convinced they’re better than before, especially on defense. “We’re better than we’ve been in the last two years on defense,” he stated. On offense, he saw some “really impressive things” against a Commanders’ defense he respects a lot. After two straight losing seasons, this win was more than just one notch in the column; it was about getting off the schneid and proving they’re headed in the right direction.
Jones was just plain eager to get that win, and you can see why. It’s early in the season, but nobody wants to dig themselves into an 0-2 hole, especially after the kind of seasons they’ve had.
