The Dallas Cowboys meet the New York Jets in a Week 5 matchup that is vital for both teams taking the field.

The Cowboys have a chance to pick up two major wins in the next few weeks, however, a loss to the Jets would change the trajectory of this team's season.

If the Cowboys want to win this game, they will have to do it with some key injuries to their offensive line.

Before the game, Jerry Jones spoke with the team at 105.3 The FAN, and during the interview, Jones shared that it would take a total team effort for the team to get a win against the Jets.

A win in the NFL is never guaranteed. Yes, the Cowboys are facing some pretty tough injury news this week, but this team should still take the win in MetLife Stadium.
