Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones compared the team's 2026 season to the 1993 squad after a 28-20 loss to the Giants. That team lost its first two games, with star running back Emmitt Smith absent due to a contract dispute. Smith returned, and Dallas went on to finish 12-4 before winning Super Bowl XXVIII. Meanwhile, the current Cowboys have taken a different path, winning their Week 2 game against Washington 37-20 to start at 1-1.
Jones' comparison highlights that an opening loss doesn't necessarily determine a season, but it remains to be seen if Dallas can capitalize on its recent response.
