Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, during his regularly scheduled radio show Friday morning on 105.3 The Fan [KRLD-FM], offered up a, uh, colorful description, as he's known to do.
This one centered on the disastrous loss to Atlanta last season in Week 10, when several key starters were missing and quarterback Dak Prescott was sacked eight times. The wheels-off loss sent the team spiraling and on a three-game losing streak.
That led to an offseason focus on making sure the team is better prepared to handle adversity and injuries. Changes were made to the coaching staff. Dallas right now is dealing with the indefinite absence of Pro Bowl center Travis Frederick as he battles an autoimmune disorder.
