Cowboys owner Jerry Jones claims ‘weather’ was a factor in Dallas’ blowout loss to Bills

There isn’t a sports team owner anywhere in the world who has more to say than Jerry Jones. The owner of the Dallas Cowboys since 1989, Jones speaks to the media after every game, and also a weekly radio appearance on a local station in Dallas, win or lose. 

The Cowboys are of course coming off an embarrassing 31-10 loss at the hands of the Buffalo Bills this past Sunday — the second time this season they have gone on the road for a big game and gotten blown off the field by a quality opponent (they lost 42-10 to the 49ers in Week 5).

Jerry had much to say about the game, the team, and the season in general, but he apparently just could not resist getting into the excuse-making game. According to Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News, Jones cited “weather” as one of the factors in his team’s decisive defeat. 

The weather during Sunday’s game was unremarkable, and early on during the FOX broadcast of the game the announcers even noted how the Cowboys had lucked out with an unseasonably warm day and far less rain than had been expected for the contest. Not only that, but the Bills played the game in the exact same weather as did the Cowboys.
