"This is very sickening to not win tonight," he later added, before licking his lips. Jones looked very much on the verge of a breakdown after the Cowboys' 19-12 defeat at Levi's Stadium, and according to the beat reporter pool, he was not alone. Descriptions of the Cowboys' locker room were beyond bleak. Jones himself characterized it as "a locker room full of sick players."
A Cowboys beat writer described one player's letting out "a heaving cry."
“To see our main guys like JK (Jayron Kearse) crying like that and these guys hurting, it’s because they gave it all,” safety Malik Hooker told the Dallas Morning News.
