Cowboys' Jerry Jones Talks Errors in Stunning Loss to Ravens, 'No Explanation You're Satisfied With'

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is still trying to process the end-of-game sequence that led to his team's 34-31 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday.

During his Tuesday appearance on 105.3 The Fan's Shan & RJ show, Jones explained there's "no explanation you're satisfied with" while talking about Dak Prescott's third-down throwaway to set up a game-tying field goal rather than attempt to go for the win in that situation.

Cowboys HC gives himself an F after loss to Ravens

There were multiple issues with Dallas' late-game execution and time management in the game.

Even before Prescott's decision to throw the ball away on third down from the Ravens' five-yard line, the Cowboys had a first-and-goal from the two with 23 seconds remaining.

The sequence from there went incomplete pass, false start and a two-yard run from Prescott that forced Dallas to take its final timeout to stop the clock.

Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer told reporters after the game that Prescott was coached to throw the ball away on that third down, even though it appeared George Pickens had enough separation to potentially catch a go-ahead touchdown if the ball had been thrown toward him instead of far over his head.

Following Brandon Aubrey's game-tying field goal, the Cowboys helped out Baltimore by having the ensuing kickoff go into the end zone for a touchback to keep seven seconds on the clock.

If the Cowboys had kicked the ball short of the end zone, the Ravens' return would have at least run enough time off the clock that they would have had to attempt a Hail Mary.

The argument against that strategy would be Baltimore could potentially return the kickoff for a game-winning touchdown, but the odds of that happening are significantly lower than letting the Ravens complete a pass, get a timeout and attempt a field goal.

That wound up being exactly what happened. Lamar Jackson connected with Zay Flowers for a 27-yard gain, allowing Tyler Loop to kick the game-winning 56-yard-field goal.

Per ESPN's Benjamin Solak , this game marked the first time in the Super Bowl era both teams kicked a field goal in the last 10 seconds of the fourth quarter.

The loss dropped Dallas' record to 1-2 this season with both losses coming by a combined 11 points. The Cowboys will look to get back to the .500 mark on Sunday against the Houston Texans at Reliant Stadium.
