While the Cowboys were at home licking their wounds from Sunday afternoon's loss, it was actually a good night for Dallas.

The Chicago Bears were able to take down the Washington Commanders, which kept the Cowboys in the thick of the NFC East race.

Following Dallas' disappointing loss to the Panthers, Jerry Jones dodged the media and did not speak. He is generally the first to share his thoughts, but he appeared to have other things on his mind.

The DLLS Sports crew shared its thoughts on why Jerry may have avoided speaking, from potential embarrassment, not wanting to be held accountable for the team's failures, or discussions about Matt Eberflus' future with the team.
