DALLAS (105.3 The Fan) - The Cowboys entered last Sunday's game riding a six-game winning streak. Their opponent, the Denver Broncos, had lost four of their last five games. The point spread (Dallas -10) reflected what was supposed to be a significant Cowboys win. But, the opposite happened.
Dallas ended up getting routed 30-16, with all of the Cowboys' points coming in the final minutes of the fourth quarter.
Cowboys owner Jones was among those to be caught off guard by his team's defeat, describing the loss as "overconfidence" in his weekly Tuesday morning visit with Shan and RJ on 105.3 The Fan.
"The thought of getting beat was not in my mind. ... I do believe we let the momentum get away from us, and it reflected in our body language. ... When you don't concentrate on just the physicalness. ... You can have what happened to you the other day," Jones said. We thought we were ready. … We weren’t, and that’s as flat as any team I’ve seen. We’ve got to get back. … We let our home crowd not get into the game the way you expect a home crowd to do. We basically played what seemed lackadaisical.”
Jones also discussed Tyron Smith and Michael Gallup's health heading into this weekend's home matchup against Atlanta, the bizarre punt block rule, and much more.
