Jerry Jones Addresses Cowboys Quarterback Situation After Blowout Loss To Texans

The Dallas Cowboys limped to another loss Monday night, their fifth in a row, but it still doesn’t appear owner Jerry Jones is planning any major changes.

After the 34-10 blowout against the Houston Texans, Jones spoke highly of the amount of effort he’s seen from the struggling team, while also touching on the Cowboys’ quarterback situation in the absence of the injured Dak Prescott.

“I care a lot about the execution. I care a lot about communication in the line. I care a lot about having two people in the same spot on the routes. I care a lot about all that stuff. But guys giving effort? No , you don’t have to worry about somebody in that locker room giving everything they’ve got and more,” Jones declared via Jon Machota of Athletics.

Regarding the quarterback situation between starter Cooper Rush and backup Trey Lance, Jones stated that Rush gave Dallas the best chance to win, and therefore wanted to continue rolling with him going forward.

In Monday’s loss, Rush attempted a career-high 55 passes. He amassed 354 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Lance, who was late in last week’s loss, did not enter the game, something coach Mike McCarthy admitted he regretted after the game.

The Cowboys will look to end their losing streak on the road against the Washington Commanders in Week 12 before returning home to play the New York Giants on Thanksgiving Day.
