Dallas Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones Says Opening Clash With Tampa Bay Buccaneers Like ‘David Against Goliath’

For the Dallas Cowboys, 2021 will be all about redemption. Following a faltering start under new Head Coach Mike McCarthy, the Cowboys franchise ended the 2020 NFL season with a 6-10 losing record. 

Failing to make it to the playoffs the side had trouble brewing throughout the course of the season. While Dak Prescott’s contract situation was something constantly under the scanner, the Cowboys’ luck with injuries too ruined what could’ve been a promising season. 

But the new season provides a fresh start for the Cowboys. With Dak Prescott now tied down to a four-year contract extension and other key players returning from long-term injuries, America’s team has its reasons to be optimistic. And Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is leading that hype train.
