The Cowboys rallied to beat Minnesota 27-23 Sunday to remain alone atop the NFC East.
Philadelphia (4-5) and Washington (3-5) also won Sunday. Had Dallas lost after last week’s 31-30 collapse in Detroit, team morale would have been at a dangerously low point heading into next weekend’s game at New Orleans, which leads the NFC South with a 6-2 record after losing 26-20 to the New York Jets on Sunday.
A loss would have also led to questions about how the Cowboys could come up short against the lowly Vikings, who fell to 1-7.
“There are no 1-7 teams in this league,” Jones said. “That’s not the way it is with an NFL team. These guys play better than 1-7 when we play them.”
