Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has been without winning a super bowl as he enters another offseason in search of answers.
After going 12-5 during the regular season, Dallas lost to the san francisco 49ers in the NFC divisional playoffs, again failing to reach the conference championship game.

On Wednesday, reporters asked Jones how he can get fans excited about the 2023 season as they try to overcome the hurdle.

“Think about the fact that we’ve won 24, 25 football games in the last two seasons,” Jones said Wednesday at the Senior Bowl. “Reflect on the fact that we’ve been one of the top winning teams. Reflect on the fact that we’ve had some of the best employees in the National Football League. Reflect on the fact that you have Dak [Prescott]. … Oh really.
“Focus on that. Focus on Dak being better. He’s right. He’ll be better on turnovers. Focus on that and focus on a coach [Mike McCarthy] That comes here and, in three years, and in what we’re trying to do, it’s had the results that we’ve had.”
Jones then pointed out that the Cowboys aren’t the only outfit enduring a Super Bowl slump, adding that Dallas has made progress to end the drought.

“I understand when you look back and say San Francisco and the Cowboys haven’t been to a Super Bowl in 25 years…they haven’t won a Super Bowl in 25 years. I understand that,” Jones added. “San Francisco is in the same boat. What I mean is, it hasn’t been the same for 25 years. A lot of different things have been done over 25 years, the same way they would have been done if you had changed general managers or in the same way”. the way you do if you change owners. I have to change in my mirror. I emphasize it.

“It is essential that we win. We work to win,” he added. “And we’ve won a lot of football games. But it’s important to win a Super Bowl. I can go back, and I can look back and see how close we’ve been about four out of five different times in the last several years, going out and being on the field I see how close it is to not going out this weekend. It’s close.”
