This season’s been a rough ride for Jerry Jones and his squad. You can mock the Cowboys as much as you want for Jerry Jones’ antics, but there were games when they put up a pretty good fight. Every time people placed their bets against them, they proved them wrong. After finishing week 16 on a strong note, Jones’s daughter expressed her feelings for the Cowboys. 

Amidst the heartbreak of being ousted from the playoff race, Dak Prescott and the Cowboys gave their boss something to smile about with the win. Adding to the moment, Jerry Jones’ daughter and Cowboys’ vice president, Charlotte Jones, shared her pride on Instagram. Posting a picture with the Cowboys’ management team, she captioned it, ” Never quit! #celebrationselfie #dallascowboys.” The Cowboys edged out the Bucs 26-24 in their week 16 game. 

It was a narrow two-point win. Despite Bucs’ star QB Baker Mayfield scoring TDs and racking up 303 yards, they couldn’t secure the win. Cowboys’s QB Cooper Rush featured in the win with 292 yards and one TD. Also, two FGs by Brandon Aubrey in 2nd and 3rd quarters gave Dallas a lead, which the Bucs weren’t able to get rid of. That was despite Ryan Miller’s TD after a 13-yard pass from Mayfield in the final quarter.

Looks like the Cowboys have been messing with other teams’ playoff hopes. The Bucs, who are still in the hunt for a playoff spot with an 8-6 record, can’t afford these close losses. The league’s at a point where it’s ‘go hard or go home.‘

Moving on from that, as the Cowboys put the seventh win in their winning column, Jerry Jones felt the loss of his team’s exit from the playoff picture.

Jerry Jones upset over Cowboys’ disappointing exit

 “We both looked like we had lost somebody”, said Jones after the win against the Bucs. But the 82-year-old quickly got a hold of his emotions. Expressing his happiness over the week 16 win, the Cowboys GM told the media, “This was as good as an emotional performance, an effort performance, that I’ve seen us had. I don’t even know what to compare it to.”

Isn’t it tough to accept when your team loses? Emotions can be pretty complicated. Jerry Jones was hoping the Commanders would lose to the Eagles so the Cowboys’ chances would stay alive. Despite all the prayers from Jones and Cowboys fans hoping for a Commanders‘ downfall, Jayden Daniels didn’t let it happen, as he scored 5 touchdowns in the win.

As soon as Jones and coach Mike McCarthy heard the news of the Commanders taking down the Eagles, their hopes were crushed like sea waves crashing a sandcastle. Well, who would have thought you’d see Jerry Jones getting emotional like that one day? Anyway, we hope his team comes back stronger next season.
