The Cowboys and Texans went all in and had crazy moments in almost every quarter. The Houston Texans had outplayed the Dallas Cowboys. But The Boys survived due to the visiting team’s inability to hold on in the waning moments of Sunday afternoon. But it was difficult, and Kingpin Jones was also nibbling his nails.

As per The Texans Wire, Jerry Jones mentioned, “I don’t want to spend too much time on that, but they were well schemed and we almost lost the game. To our team’s credit and Dak’s, that 98-yard drive had everything going for them to win that ball game and we won. I give Dak a lot of credit for that 98 yard drive, to be trite.”

The Cowboys owner also hailed their quarterback’s performance and deployment. The Texans were determined to stop the run and then force The Boys to make throws they might regret later.

Jerry Jones owns the Cowboys. Practically, he would root for them. But the kingpin has a soft corner for the Texans as well.

He kept his appreciation public in Dallas radio’s K&C Masterpiece about his long-held love of football in south Texas and Houston.

According to the Houston Chronicle, Jones’ love for Houston stems from his football career at the University of Arkansas.
