The Cowboys finished 8-8 for the third straight season after losing their playoffs-or-bust season finale Sunday night 24-22 to the Philadelphia Eagles. The lost extended Dallas’ playoff drought to four seasons and left Garrett with a 29-27 record.

“You got to be persistent. You’ve got to keep believing and some how, some way, we’ll break through.”

“Do you all remember a month ago when I was talking about Jason?” Jones said. “I didn’t see anything out here tonight that would change my mind.”
