Jones accepts that defeat is beyond his understanding.

Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys, said his team’s 48-32 loss to the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs is something that still can’t be explained as to how it happened.

“This certainly seems like the most painful defeat. It’s beyond my comprehension, I haven’t processed it yet,” said the owner, surrounded by dozens of cameras and microphones at the end of the match.

The Cowboys’ loss was their 13th consecutive postseason loss and extended the franchise’s streak without reaching the NFC Championship Game to 29 years.

Jerry Jones, who during the game played at the Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium, did not hide his annoyance with constant gestures of disapproval, walked quickly to his team’s locker room at the end of the game.

The media approached him before entering the locker room and he told them that he would not speak about the future of Dallas head coach Mike McCarthy.

“I won’t talk to anyone specifically, nor will I talk about anyone. I haven’t thought about that for a second,” he said. “I haven’t thought about this at all, so I won’t comment on it because I haven’t thought about it. My thoughts the last few weeks have been planning to go from this game to another here at the stadium since we knew we were going to have the field. local”.

For his part, McCarthy made no excuses for the Cowboys’ poor performance.

“We chose a bad day to play a bad game,” the coach acknowledged.

McCarthy joined the Cowboys in the 2020 season in which they did not qualify for the playoffs, finishing with a 6-10 record.

Starting in 2021, the head coach has not failed in his postseason visits leading the Cowboys, where he has not been able to meet the requirement of leading the National Conference Championship Game and, therefore, to a Super Bowl . .

In 2021 he lost in the Wild Card Round at home 23-17 to the San Francisco 49ers. In 2022 they lost again to the 49ers, 19-12, now in the Divisional Round.

This year it was of no use to them that in the regular season they maintained a perfect home record of eight wins because in the Wild Card Round they ended up defeated by the Packers.
