The Dallas Cowboys’ dismal season hit a new low on Monday night, with a 34-10 loss to the Houston Texans that dropped the team to 3-7. Owner and general manager Jerry Jones acknowledged the struggles, but expressed confidence in the team’s ability to turn things around.
Jones reflected on his time as owner, recalling the team’s early struggles in the 1990s. “We won one game my first year,” he said. “One. And so have we had rough seasons? Yes. Yeah, I’ve been around. Certainly we have.”
The Cowboys’ current struggles are compounded by injuries to key players, including quarterback Dak Prescott, who underwent hamstring surgery last week. The team’s offense has been unable to find consistency, and the defense has struggled to contain opponents.
Coach Mike McCarthy acknowledged the team’s frustrations, but emphasized the need to stay focused and motivated. “This is it, man,” he said. “We’ve got seven losses. We gotta go. Backs against the wall. Gotta fight, claw, scratch. Gotta do everything we can to go win the next game.”
The Cowboys face a tough road ahead, with only one game remaining against a team with a worse record than their own. McCarthy emphasized the need for the team to come together and fight for a win. “We deserve to win,” he said. “We deserve the opportunity to win and that’s about putting the best people out there.”
The Cowboys’ next game is against the Washington Commanders, followed by a Thanksgiving meeting against the New York Giants. With their season on the line, the team will need to dig deep and find a way to turn things around.
