The Dallas Cowboys were able to dominate the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 6 NFL action and won by a final score of 40-3. It was a game that the franchise desperately needed after getting off to a slow start. Dallas is now 3-3 following the win and is hoping to use the win to gain momentum moving forward.
After losing to the Houston Texans last week, team owner Jerry Jones made it clear that he was not happy with the team's decision to punt on fourth down in overtime. This week, the Cowboys went for it on fourth down twice, converting on both opportunities.
Jones took the opportunity to take a playful dig at head coach Jason Garrett following the win over the Jaguars, as noted by Brandon George of The Dallas Morning News.
Jerry Jones: "I thought we had an outstanding game, got the fourth-down call right this time out there (he winked), but seriously just about as good of football as I have seen certainly with this team. That first half was about as good as you can draw it up."

Despite his unhappiness about the decision against the Texans, Jones has not wavered in his support of Garrett. He still thinks Garrett is the right man to lead the Cowboys back to Super Bowl contention.
Another bright spot for the Cowboys this week was the play of quarterback Dak Prescott. He has struggled in a big way this season but completed 17 of his 27 pass attempts for 183 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions. It wasn't a massive game, but it was a quality performance.
There are still some things that the Cowboys will need to do if they want to compete in the NFC. They have the talent, but they have to put everything together.
Jones and company are feeling good after dominating the Jaguars the way they did. Jacksonville is a quality football team, and if the Cowboys are capable of playing like that, they could make some noise as the season moves forward.
