FRISCO, Texas -- As Dallas Cowboys cornerback Byron Jones poked his head out the opening of a long sleeve t-shirt, his eyes widened at the mere suggestion his team’s youth could somehow serve as a detriment to its Super Bowl prospects.
“We don’t think about the age,” said Jones, 26. “We just go out there and have fun. When you run your plays and you practice the way we do, things just kind of click on the field. And that’s what we’re seeing.”
When Dallas faces the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday in the NFC divisional round, it will do so with a roster tied for third-youngest in the NFL, according to ESPN Stats and Information, without a single starter age 30 or older.
