Jerry Jones put on a brave face.
The Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager credited the winless Seattle Seahawks for playing like their season depended on it to beat his team 24-13 Sunday afternoon at Century Link Field.
“This team that we played had their backs against the wall. They’re outstandingly coached and they just kept us, from the get-go, off-balance,” Jones said, after the Cowboys dropped to 1-2. “Obviously, we’d like to do a lot of things differently and better than we did but this was a very important game to them and they showed it.
