Jerry Jones Expresses Disappointment Over Cowboys' Underperformance

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones expressed significant disappointment following the team's recent performance, notably after their loss to the Minnesota Vikings, which dropped their record to 6-7-1 and eliminated them from playoff contention.

Jones stated, "It's very disappointing. I'm really obviously very disappointed for our fans," highlighting not only his frustration but also that of the players and supporters. The Cowboys' struggles were echoed by first-year head coach Brian Schottenheimer, who admitted his disappointment in the team's performance, suggesting that the coaching staff, including himself, needed to take accountability.

With only three games left in the season, Jones emphasized the urgency for improvement, stating, "The adjustments that we should be making should be with this year, with these next three games in mind." This sentiment indicates that the final games will be critical in evaluating both player performance and coaching effectiveness, particularly regarding defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus, whose future appears uncertain after the team's defensive struggles this season, allowing 29.5 points per game.

Jones's comments reflect a broader frustration with the underachievement of a team that had high expectations at the season's start.
