How bad are the Cowboys? Jerry Jones didn’t talk to media after loss

After watching his team manage just six points against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, another loss in a season that has seen his team unable to recover from injury to starting quarterback Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones responded in an unthinkable way: he said nothing.

Unlike every other owner and GM in the NFL, Jones makes himself available after every game, gathering reporters to hype a win or explain away a loss. But on Sunday, after his Cowboys fell to 4-11, on pace for their worst record since at least 2002, when they were 5-11, or possibly 1989, when the franchise managed just one win, he was quiet.

According to Ft. Worth Star-Telegram Cowboys beat writer Clarence Hill, Jones was in the cramped visitors’ locker room at Ralph Wilson Stadium postgame but “went against normal routine and didn’t make himself available.”

Stephen Jones, Jerry’s son and the team’s executive vice president, did talk, but said little, particularly about the team’s future beyond the season finale against Washington next week.

“We’re worried about this week,” Stephen Jones said. “There will be plenty of time to deal with evaluating what this team did for the season at the end of the season. We’ve got a game left against the Redskins and that’s what we’ll focus on.”

With the Cowboys sitting star receiver Dez Bryant and starting inexperienced quarterback Kellen Moore (his first-ever NFL snaps came on Sunday), it’s been floated that perhaps Dallas is tanking to get the best draft pick possible. When Stephen Jones was asked about that possibility, he didn’t respond.

“We’re worried about the Washington Redskins. Next question,” Jones said.

Dallas currently has the fourth pick in the draft.
