Jerry Jones Sends Bold Message After Loss: 'This Doesn’t Define Us—Playoffs Are Still Within Reach!'
After a tough loss to the Chicago Bears, Dallas Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones made it clear that the defeat would not define his team’s season. Speaking to the media, Jones reflected on the challenges the team faced in Week 3 but emphasized that the road to the playoffs is still very much open. His statement echoed a belief in the resilience of his team and their ability to bounce back stronger.
"This loss stings, but it doesn’t define us," Jones said. "I’ve seen what this team is capable of when we play at our best. We have the talent, the leadership, and the resolve to push through any challenge. The playoffs are still within reach, and I have no doubt we’ll find our rhythm and get back on track. We've been in tough spots before, and this team knows how to fight back."
Jones’ words were a reminder of the high expectations the Cowboys carry into the 2025 season. While the loss to the Bears stung, Jones remains unwavering in his belief that the team has the depth, leadership, and determination to turn things around. He’s witnessed firsthand the potential this roster has, and he’s confident that the team’s strong foundation will allow them to rebound quickly.
The Cowboys have a wealth of talent, led by quarterback Dak Prescott, wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, and defensive stalwarts like Micah Parsons and Trevon Diggs. However, consistency has been a challenge. The team's early-season struggles have highlighted areas of improvement, but Jones remains optimistic that they will find their rhythm and hit their stride as the season progresses.
With a tough schedule ahead, including matchups against the Atlanta Falcons, Los Angeles Chargers, and Kansas City Chiefs, the Cowboys are fully aware of the road ahead. Jones’ belief in his team’s ability to bounce back and push forward is more than just lip service—it’s a call to action for every player on the roster to dig deep and rediscover their best form.
"This is about staying together and trusting the process," Jones added. "We’ve been through adversity before, and this group knows how to respond. I have no doubt that we’ll be back in the hunt for the playoffs. We just need to get back to playing Cowboy football."
As the Cowboys prepare for their next games, all eyes will be on how they respond to Jones' rallying cry. With a team full of talent and a coach like Mike McCarthy leading the way, the Commanders are ready to see if they can indeed turn the page and get back to championship contention.
Spencer Rattler SLAMS Himself After Saints' Loss to Seahawks: “I Made My Mistakes, But This Isn’t All On Me”
In a brutally honest and intense statement, New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler took full accountability for his mistakes in the Saints’ crushing loss to the Seattle Seahawks, but he made it clear that the blame didn’t lie solely on his shoulders. While he acknowledged his own missteps, Rattler didn’t hold back in calling out the broader team performance, stating that it wasn’t just one player’s fault for the defeat.
“I made my mistakes, and I’ll own that,” Rattler said, clearly frustrated and upset with the outcome. “But this isn’t all on me. We win as a team, and we lose as a team. Everyone needs to step up, and there’s a lot more that went wrong than just my plays. We all have to take responsibility for this loss.”
Rattler’s performance was marred by key errors, but he expressed his belief that the entire team, from the offensive line to the defense, failed to execute when it mattered most. His words were a sharp critique of the collective struggles, calling out the lack of discipline and execution that led to the painful defeat.
“We can’t keep making excuses. We’ve got to look at the bigger picture here,” Rattler continued. “I didn’t do enough to win the game, but I’m not going to sit here and let it be about just me. We’ve got to clean up everything—offensive line protection, defense, and we’ve got to execute better on every level. It’s a team issue, not just one guy.”
With the Saints now facing mounting pressure after another tough loss, Rattler’s fiery words have ignited a sense of urgency in the locker room. His willingness to take responsibility while calling for a complete team effort signals that he’s not backing down from the challenge ahead—and neither should the Saints.
