LANDOVER, Md. – Cowboys owner Jerry Jones talked earlier in the season about the 51-48 loss to Denver being a “moral victory,”
On Sunday, he painted the 24-23 season-saving, come-from-behind win over the Commanders as a character builder.
Dallas rallied from a nine-point fourth quarter deficit to win on Tony Romo’s 10-yard touchdown pass to DeMarco Murray with 1:08 left. It was quite an accomplishment, considering the Cowboys blew a 23-point third-quarter deficit the week before in losing 37-36 at home to the injury-weakened Green Bay Packers.
“A game like today builds everything you want to build for an individual and a football team,” Jones said. “A game like last week has a lot to impact on your character and then coming back and seeing us playing well, working hard, can help your character.
“Now I don’t recommend that as a way to have a good game and come back. I don’t recommend coming back in the way we won this one today as a way to get there. You’d like to have for it to have been a little bit easier and calmer.”
Jones said the way the Cowboys overcame adversity in beating Washington reminded him of his early days as the team’s owner.
“I know our first Super Bowl that I got to be a part of,” Jones said, “the fact that so many people were critical of the way we got involved with the Cowboys, buying the Cowboys, the changes that we were made. Then, to go from those dark days to those light days, bam, bam, really made it quite exciting, or quite a satisfying thing. Well, when you go to where we were last Sunday and then turn around and win a game the way we won and come out of here with a win, that’s good stuff, and I think that does build something.”
