  "account": "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.
