Jerry Jones rallies Cowboys fans for Giants clash
The Dallas Cowboys are set to step onto the field for the final time this season on Sunday afternoon, as they head to MetLife Stadium for an NFC East battle against the New York Giants. Although the Cowboys’ playoff hopes were extinguished two weeks ago, owner and general manager Jerry Jones is adamant that the team will not back down as they look to finish strong.
Finishing Strong is Key
In a recent statement, Jones emphasized the significance of ending the season on a positive note, stating that it could provide vital momentum heading into the offseason. He reflected on the importance of their recent victory over Washington, highlighting how much it meant to the team.
“You weigh that against how valuable it was to win the game (at Washington),” Jones remarked. “I don’t mean to sound like a motivational talk here, but the win was big to us (last week).”
Aiming for Division Dominance
Victory against the Giants would mean a successful 5-1 record against division rivals for Dallas this season. While not the ultimate goal, such a record would serve as a promising indicator for the future of the franchise.
“To go up against the Giants and to finish with hopefully the kind of taste we got in our mouth (after beating Washington), to go do that, there’s a tremendous carryover,” Jones added. “And I’m not just talking about the players. I’m talking about everybody, coaches, fans, all the way through.”
Prescott’s Dilemma
As the Cowboys prepare for their season finale, all eyes will be on star quarterback Dak Prescott. Currently leading the league in passing yards, Prescott has an opportunity to secure his first passing yards title in his NFL career. However, considerations about his health loom large; with the risk of injury in a game with little at stake, resting Prescott might be the prudent choice.
