Jerry Jones on loss to Raiders: ‘the sky is not falling’

The Cowboys lost an ugly, penalty-filled contest to the Raiders on Thanksgiving, but the team’s owner doesn’t seem to be overly concerned with the result. After the game, Jerry Jones didn’t express too much fear that his franchise is trending in the wrong direction.

Jones told local radio station 105.3 The Fan that while he was disappointed the team lost, he’s focused on looking “forward.” He made it clear that the team’s injuries have been an issue, and those are getting cleared up at the right time.

“You have to look forward. Yesterday is as dead as Napoleon. It’s gone,” Jones said. “And so we have to look at how to improve. The sky is not falling. When you look at the six games ahead that we have, the cavalry is coming. We’ve gotta take a deep breath and remember that this time of year is where you’re dealing with attrition. You’re normally dealing with a depleted situation in your personnel. Here we come with fresh legs.”
