Dallas Cowboys

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones played down suggestions Mike McCarthy's job as head coach could be under threat following Dallas' playoff defeat to the San ...

No. Something I've got to get in the offseason," he said. "No. On the interceptions, he added: "Yeah, it's very frustrating. "Guys that played their asses off. I don't even want to - no.

Dallas' main Twitter account couldn't help but call out Prescott in a strange tweet on Sunday evening.

But back to the game story tweet - that one specifically calls out Prescott, and the language in it is that of a fan. Now, in fairness, this is a tweet to the game story on dallascowboys dot com, not the actual "Final." "Dak Prescott gave the ball away twice" and "had a chance to win if they didn't generate self-inflicted wounds." That came a few hours earlier, and Prescott happened to be in the graphic: In fact, one Los Angeles Lakers fan/sicko went back and looked at all the final score tweets after a loss last year and noticed that the main account never uses If you follow your team closely enough, you're going to know the result of the game before it gets tweeted out.

After Sunday's loss, “America's Team” is now 0–7 in NFL Division Round games since 1996, and 0–3 with Dak Prescott as quarterback.

But plenty of it is Jerry, who understood that those uniforms and that star on the helmet represented something unique in the hearts and minds of fans around the nation. Yet during the run-up to Sunday’s game, Jones had seemed more confident than ever that he finally had the team that could get over the hump and back into the Super Bowl conversation. NFL games accounted for 82 of the 100 highest-rated television shows in 2022, according to data compiled by Sportico, breaking the previous record of 75 in 2021. Some of that is a byproduct of the ever-skyrocketing value of NFL television rights. That was the beginning of the era in which NFL Films dubbed the Cowboys “America’s Team.” Prescott has led the Cowboys to four play-off appearances but only two victories in six healthy seasons. Defensively, Dallas was excellent on Sunday, holding one of the NFL’s best offenses to four field goals and one touchdown. After a second straight 12–5 regular season, these Cowboys—with playmakers scattered up and down the roster—might have been the franchise’s best team in a quarter century. He remembered fondly how the Cowboys had eliminated the 49ers thirty years earlier on their way to his first Super Bowl with the team. Still, in the days leading up to Sunday’s game, Jones had expressed optimism that this time would be different. He remains behind head coach Mike McCarthy despite the availability of a future Hall of Fame coach in Sean Payton. The Cowboys owner was forced once more to wrap his mind around a play-off disappointment, this one a 19–12 loss on Sunday.
