Jerry Jones Vows Defensive Improvement After Cowboys Miss Playoffs Again

Overview

• Dallas sits at 7-8-1 and misses the postseason for a second straight year.
• The defense has allowed a league-worst 29.8 points per game and 6,029 yards, including the most passing yards allowed.
• On 105.3 The Fan, Jones promised, “We will get better on defense,” and said choices on changes will come “pronto.”
• Jones described the collapse as a team-wide failure, stressing the issues go beyond defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus.
• Reporting indicates Dallas is likely to part with Eberflus after Week 18, as Jones also evaluates draft plans that include maximizing picks from the Micah Parsons trade.
