FRISCO, Texas -- As he stood outside the Dallas Cowboys locker room, answering questions, owner and general manager Jerry Jones praised the job done by Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Zimmer, his former defensive coordinator.
Jones wanted to make sure he was paying proper respect to a team that outplayed his own Sunday in a 28-24 decision, but at the end, Jones' feelings came out.
"Disappointed. Disappointed," Jones said, repeating the word for emphasis. "We'll have to pay for this one and hopefully it won't be terminal."
At the moment, the loss to the Vikings is not terminal.
