Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on @1053thefan: “I’ll tell you this right now, I didn’t think I’d be sitting here when we kicked off last night explaining why we didn’t play better than we played. I understand the frustration of our fans. But stay tuned.”

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on @1053thefan on last night’s 44-30 loss in Detroit: “It was disappointing. Very frustrating. … We should have been able to be more productive. “They weren’t at full speed. We were probably as good (health-wise) as we’ve been all year.”

Cowboys DT Quinnen Williams: “As a defense, we’re way better than (giving up) 44 points. … It’s a pretty hard pill to swallow, but we got the guys (to make the corrections), take accountability and never let it happen again.”

A lot contributed to the loss — turnovers, kickoff coverage and Dallas' defense allowed scores on six of the Lions' final seven possessions.

The Cowboys’ playoff hopes took a big hit last night. They currently have a 9% chance. Win their remaining four games and it increases to 40% Dak Prescott: “I don’t think this is any deflated moment like our hands are up, we’re done. No. Absolutely not.”

Asked George Pickens about Richard Sherman saying superstars can’t disappear. Pickens on that standard: “For myself, personally, you can’t just disappear.” Pickens added that the Lions’ scheme made things difficult for him, but opened up others. “It just didn’t go our way.”

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott: “The guys are pissed off right now. I don’t think this is any deflated moment like our hands are up, we’re done. No. Absolutely not. I think you’re gonna get a team that’s pissed. I hope it pisses people off the right way and we use it as fuel.”

Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer has no concerns that tonight’s loss will deflate the team from what they’ve accomplished in their three previous games: “Special group of guys. They’re not gonna let that happen. … We’ll pick ourselves up and go back to work.”
