With how poorly the Cowboys played in losses to the Seahawks and Bears and even during a win over the Buccaneers, a 2-2 record might be better than what they deserve.
On Tuesday, Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones gave his thoughts on where his team sits entering Week 6. Despite being outscored by a 61-25 total in their two losses, the Cowboys are fortunate that each team in the NFC East has at least two losses.
"We got to play better," Jones said on 105.3 The Fan [KRLD-FM]. "I'm disappointed that we're not putting more points on the board. I'm disappointed that we're not getting the turnovers. All of that tells me that at 2-2, we're in pretty good shape, considering the way we've played. I'm not saying we're lucky to be 2-2, but we haven't played any better than 2-2. We can play better though. That's the good news.
"You look at where we are with our division, where everybody has lost two games in the division. What does that tell you? Nothing, other than we've got the games ahead of us – one more against the Giants and two against each of our division opponents. You got to look at your division hard and keep an eye on it. We have a lot to be encouraged about where we are in our division relative to records and nobody's gaining on us here.
"We've got to do this from within. We just got to play better from within, across the board. It isn't in just one spot, it's across the board. I emphasize the interior blocking of the offensive line, but we got so many other areas that we can play better in. But that's football."
