Jerry Jones: Cowboys' Defense 'Worst in NFL'

0:00On March 17th, Jerry Jones, the Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager, continues to point the finger at the team's defense for their disappointing. Seven win, nine loss, one tie record in the 2025 season, which kept them out of the playoffs. He recently said the defense was so bad that fixing it is the only way forward, and with better play, they could have made a strong playoff push. The Cowboys ranked dead last in the NFL, giving up 30.1 points per game, and 30th in total yards allowed at 300. Seventy-seven per contest. That led to big changes, including firing defensive coordinator Matt Eberfluss in January and bringing in Christian Parker, who coached defensive backs for the Philadelphia Eagles. To rebuild the unit, Dallas traded for past Russia-Roshan Gary from the Green Bay Packers and added safeties, Jalen Thompson and PJ. Locke, cornerback, Kobe Durant, defensive lineman, Otito Audbania, and linebacker Tyrus Wheat.
