Jerry Jones on Cowboys' Decision to Punt in Overtime: 'It's Time for Risks at That Particular Time'

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he is "not second guessing" coach Jason Garrett's decision to punt the ball on fourth-and-one in Texans' territory in overtime on Sunday, but he thinks Dallas should have tried to move the chains on that play instead of giving away possession.

After Ezekiel Elliott was stopped short on a third-and-one from the Houston 42, the Cowboys decided to punt the ball back to the Texans instead of going for it.

"You know, we had a third-and-two and we didn't make much on it and we just felt like at that point in the game, the way our defense was playing, the idea was to pin them down there," Garrett told reporters after the game.
