Cowboys rookie Byron Jones learns tough lesson

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Byron Jones patiently stood at his locker to answer the same question.

What happened on the 43-yard catch by Kenbrell Thompkins that set up the New York Jets' winning field goal Saturday night?

The answer remained the same.

The first mistake for the Dallas Cowboys rookie was lining up in press coverage. Jones' second mistake was turning his back to the sideline at the snap. His third was letting Thompkins run past him.

“It’s Cover 2, so in two-minute we like to play it from off coverage,” Jones said.
