The Dallas Cowboys are first in the AFC East due to the Eagles’ loss and have also secured their playoff berth. However, their loss against the Buffalo Bills has brought attention to the squad, as they are now moving towards more crucial games.

According to Pro Football Talk via 105.3 The Fan, Jones shared his thoughts and revealed, “Well, he’s coached three playoff teams in a row. I think he’s done an outstanding job. I think the fact that he’s your offensive coordinator as well as your head coach puts him as high or a higher stead than when he was the walk-around coach.”
“All of those things are positive. I frankly said to the staff yesterday, ‘You got us in this spot to be as disappointed as we are about the Buffalo deal and our loss there. It’s your fault because y’all have done such a great job this year getting our team to where we, our fans, everybody have the expectations that we have.”
“You pushed us up here to where we get out here and play great the next three weeks and we could absolutely have something great happen for us. Now you all caused us to be disappointed here on Monday by not living to that standard up there, but hats off to you.’ In other words, I didn’t spend my day in there looking grumpy or however you might look, even though we were all disappointed. The best part of our team this year has been the coaching staff.”
McCarthy has spearheaded the Cowboys to the playoffs for three seasons and in the current season they have done so as well. The defense of the Cowboys comes in a great spot when considering the entire league. The team is heading for prominent dominance in the season and their loss to the Bills irritated many fans.
