Jon Gruden was the last person that Jerry and Stephen Jones thought they would thank for anything football related; however, acquiring Amari Cooper from the Raiders for a first-round pick may have probably saved all hope for the Cowboys in terms of making the playoffs.
For the owner and president of the franchise, the former University of Alabama wide receiver has made life better for Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliot.
Prior to getting an elite target, Dallas was 3-4 on the season and left for dead in having any postseason thoughts.
The addition of Cooper has pushed the Cowboys to a 3-1 mark in its last four games – including a 31-23 win over the Washington Redskins on Thanksgiving, to improve to 6-5.
