Jerry Jones re-affirms Super Bowl aspirations after Week 1 loss. Here's why
Will the Cowboys win the Super Bowl? Owner Jerry Jones thinks it's possible, even after Dallas lost to the Giants in Week 1.
After Dallas Cowboys suffered a Week 1 loss to the New York Giants, team owner Jerry Jones reaffirmed the franchise's aspirations for a Super Bowl run. During an appearance on Dallas local sports radio station 105.3 The Fan, Jones emphasized his unwavering belief in the Cowboys' potential, drawing parallels to previous teams that overcame initial setbacks.
Jones highlighted that both the Super Bowl finalists from last year, the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots, lost their season openers before going on to win the championship. He pointed out that the Cowboys, under Jones' leadership, have successfully navigated slow starts to achieve Super Bowl victories in the past.
Jones also commended the team's defensive coordinator Christian Parker, expressing confidence in Parker's abilities despite the abysmal defensive performance in the Week 1 loss. The Cowboys allowed 394 yards of total offense and 28 points to the Giants, ranking seventh in the league for total offensive yards in Week 1 and having the ball for 21 minutes of the fourth quarter.
Following the loss, the Cowboys' odds of winning Super Bowl 61 decreased slightly, from +2500 on September 8 to +2800 on September 15. The team's next challenge is facing the Washington Commanders in Week 2, with both teams starting the season 0-1 after losses within the NFC East.
