Jerry Jones embraces a daring “daydream” as the Cowboys scramble to keep their playoff hopes alive, leaving fans stunned.QQ
The Dallas Cowboys are in danger of missing the playoffs following their Thursday night loss to the Detroit Lions.
That ended their three-game winning streak and dropped their odds of making the postseason to just 9%. They’re still alive, however, and can increase those odds to roughly 47% if they win out. Still, that means they will need a lot of help even if they win the final four games.
Jerry Jones understands what it will take, but he’s remaining optimistic. While speaking to 105.3 The Fan on Friday, Jones said he likes to “daydream” and said “crazy things happen” in the NFL.

“I, too, knew what was at stake about our odds of getting in the playoffs. We… We have a better team than we played last night. We do. Detroit is a good team, but we have a better team. And so can we literally win out? Of course, we can win out. Is it going to be hard? Double, of course, it is to win out,” Jones said.
“And a lot of crazy things happen. And so I think very much that we should look at last night with what might have been. And I like to do that. Nothing wrong. I live in a lot of my past, and it never kept me from doing something for the future. and present day. So I like to daydream.”
Jones also said there’s a lot of work to be done, but he knows the Cowboys can play better than they did against the Lions.
“But we’ve got to look at the very narrow chance that if we get out here and play better than we played last night, yeah, we can be still playing when playoff time comes.”

Week 15: Cowboys vs. Minnesota Vikings
Week 16: Cowboys vs. Los Angeles Chargers
Week 17: Cowboys at Washington Commanders
Week 18: Cowboys at New York Giants
Only the Chargers have a winning record out of these four teams and Dallas has already defeated Washington and New York. Winning out isn’t out of the question, but can they get the help they need?
