The Owner, Jones, also had some advice for people struggling with middle age. He told everyone in the particular age range. Even at 40, one can have a heck of a time. Jerry Jones is a living example of this.
Whether or not someone agrees, Jerry Jones is one of the greatest minds to grace his presence in the league. He transformed a money-bleeding team into one of the leading and most wealthy franchises. He has kept the franchise’s position at the top for the past three decades and continues to do so.
Did Jerry Jones handle Dak Prescott’s absence like a pro?

As per PFT’s Mike Florio, One hypothesis is that he thought this would deter the players from giving up on the season. Even if the players assumed Dak would return soon, they still achieved their always-impossible goals. They began this year with high hopes, and it has remained great ever since.
